The author gives an annotated list of the Cicindelidae collected by his father in South West Africa (Namibia) during a brief trip made in December 1972-January 1973. Two species especially, Lophyra (s. str.) herero (Péringuey, 1892) and Lophyra(s. str.) damara (Péringuey, 1892), appeared to be of a great interest, because of misunderstandings in the past literature. On the basis of the collected materials, both are recognized as distinct species and one of them (L. damara) is here briefly redescribed.
