Sumario:This paper is a contribution to descriptions of the fauna of Acridoidea of Angola. It relates to a collection of 407 specimens forwarded by Dr. José Passos de Carvalho of the Instituto de Investigaçäo Agronómica de Angola. A complete list for the region is given with additional notes in some cases. The specimens were mainly caught in south - west Angola or west Angola in various cultivations. 011e of the main features of the collection was the bright colouration of the hind wings, the inner side of the hind femur and the hind tibiae. Some unusual colouration combinations were noted. The terminology used for the figures of genitalia is similar to that in Dirsh (1956). The terminology used for describing the 9 genitalia was that of Slifer (1939) and Agarwala (1952).
