Two new species of Afrotropical Wiedemannia Zetterstedt are described: W. kilimanjarosp. nov. (Tanzania), W. londtisp. nov. (Malawi). Both species are illustrated and an updated key to Afrotropical species of Wiedemannia is provided. The distributions of all Afrotropical species of Wiedemannia are mapped and the disjunct distribution briefly discussed.
