[Refereed] Two specimens of Rhinogoboius nagoyae (23.1–30.6 mm in standard length), were collected from the lower reach of the Tama-gawa River, which flows into the Tokyo Bay, central Japan. The domestic distribution range of this species is from Ryukyu Islands to the northernmost Honshu Island. Although the locality of specimens is at the middle for its range, voucher-based records have not been reported from the Tokyo Bay tributary basin. Thus, the present specimens, which are described in this article, represents the first voucher-based records of R. nagoyae from the bay basin.
