| Max. size: | 13 cm SL (male/unsexed) | |||
| Environment: | pelagic-neritic; depth range 0 - 50 m | |||
| Distribution: | Indo-West Pacific: from Kuwait to southern India and Bay of Bengal to the Philippines, also eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. Often confused with Sardinella gibbosa in Indian waters. | |||

Vertical striae on scales not meeting at center, hind part of scales with a few perforations and (in Indian Ocean specimens) somewhat produced posteriorly. A dark spot at dorsal fin origin. | |||
