The genus Anodontoceras Yukawa is newly recorded from the Afrotropical Region and Anodontoceras harrisi sp. n. is described from South Africa. The new species is most closely related to A. saigusai Yukawa, which is of East Palaearctic/ Oriental distribution. The female of A. saigusai is described for the first time. New data on the distribution of A. saigusai and A. yukawai Jaschhof in Japan are presented.
