The genus Anterhynchium de Saussure is distributed at Australian, Ethiopian, Oriental and Palearctic Regions of the world. Forty four species are recorded under this genus from the world (GBIF Data Portal webpage) of which five species namely Anterhynchium (A.) abdominale (Illiger), A. (A.) mellyi (de Saussure), A.
