| Abstract;A fossil clupeid fish collected from the Middle Miocene Fuganji Mudstone bed at Miyanoshita, Kokufu-cho, Tottori Prefecture, Japan is described as a new species, Sardinella miyanoshitaensis. The new species is very similar in appearance to the extant Sardinella marquesensis which is endemic to Marquesas Island in the central Pacific, but is distinguishable in having an endopterygoid tooth plate, a different form of scales and a rather deeper body.
