Two specimens (304.0–441.4 mm total length) of Uropterygius fasciolatus (Regan, 1909) were collected from Yonaguni-jima island, the westernmost island in Japan. This species was previously known from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Palau, the Tokelau Islands, and the Phoenix Islands. Therefore, the present specimens represent the first record from Japan, as well as the northernmost record of the species up until now. A new standard Japanese name, “Murakumo-kikaiutsubo”, is proposed for the species.

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.

The zooxanthellate scleractinian species Goniopora stokesi is widely distributed across the Indo-Pacific Ocean, and in Japan the northernmost records of this species are from Tatsukushi, Kochi on Shikoku, although these records are not associated with specimens deposited in museums. The species is unique among Goniopora in that it lives on soft bottom sediment, forming free-living colonies, and produces asexual daughter colonies, or ‘polyp balls,’ via budding from parent colonies. Here we report on a large G. stokesi community from Otsuki, Kochi, Japan, representing the northernmost specimen-based record of the species. Specimen-based records are important as verifiable baseline data in light of global warming and climate change, which is expected to drastically effect the marine flora and fauna of Kochi and surrounding areas.
