A single specimen of Thrissina dussumieri (Valenciennes, 1848) collected from the Ogasawara Islands, previously reported and briefly described ca. 90 years ago, has since been largely overlooked in studies of Japanese engraulid fishes. The specimen was re-examined and described in detail, and the record of T. dussumieri from Japanese waters is confirmed. The new standard Japanese name “Tsurugi-katakuchi” is proposed.
