Three specimens of the White Sardine (Clupeiformes: Clupeidae) Sardinella albella (Valenciennes, 1847), collected from Nakagusuku Bay, Okinawa Island, Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan in the early 20th century and recently discovered in the fish collection of the Department of Zoology, The University Museum, The University of Tokyo, represent the first records of the species (and seventh confirmed species of Sardinella Valenciennes, 1847) from Japanese waters. The morphology of the specimens is described in detail, and a diagnostic key provided for Japanese species of Sardinella.

Eighteen specimens of Sardinella gibbosa (Bleeker, 1849) collected from Okinawa Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan represent the first Japanese specimen-based records of the species. All specimens conformed closely to the diagnosis of S. gibbosa, having the caudal fin uniformly pale, a black spot on the dorsal-fin origin, body scales with centrally discontinuous striae, 26−31+50–57=77–88 gill rakers on the first gill arch, and 18 or 19+14 or 15=32–34 keeled scutes along the body ventral surface. In addition, some previous Japanese records of unidentified clupeoid fishes are reviewed.
