Abstract: This work presents two new species of the family Neoleptonidae (Bivalvia) found offNamibia, SW Africa: Neolepton torraense n. sp. and Neolepton san n. sp. Neolepton torraensen. sp. was found in a gravity core penetrating a Late Pleistocene stratigraphicsequence on the shelf and Neolepton san n. sp. was found alive on the upper bathyalslope. These records are the first of this genus off Namibia. We compare the two speciesfound with, among others, Neolepton atlanticum (E. A.
