Afromorgus reiterorum sp. nov. from Socotra Island, Yemen is described and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. The new species is compared with similar and probably closely related species A. squalidus (Olivier, 1789), A. frater (Pittino, 2005), A. saturoi (Kawai, 2006) and species of the A. melancholicus (Fåhraeus, 1858) group. The differential diagnosis is based mainly on different structure of the pronotum and elytron, and on the shape of aedeagus.
