All hitherto known records of 26 species of Chrysopidae in Namibia are discussed. Two species, Dichochrysa bibens sp.n. and Dichochrysa alliumolens sp.n. are described as new. The larvae of five species are figured and described for the first time. The distribution of eight of the recorded species includes Subsahara-Africa and, to some extent, adjacent parts of the Mediterranean and Oman; seven species have, so far, only been found in Namibia. Some of the other species occur only in Southern or Southwestern Africa. Two new combinations are proposed: Chrysopa tacta Naväs, 1921 and Mallada namibensis Hölzel, 1990 are transferred to Dichochrysa Yang, 1991.
