Momonides landbergi Lundblad, 1971 is newly recorded from Iriomote Island, Okinawa, southern Japan. This is the first record of the subfamily Momonidinae from Japan. Characteristics of the present Japanese specimens accord well with those of the specimens from Indonesia originally described by Lundblad (1971), except for somewhat smaller number of genital acetabula of the Japanese specimens. The present record extends northward the worldwide distribution of M. landbergi to near the Palearctic region.
