This paper records several species of holothuroid echinoderms dredged from shallow waters of the Angolan-Namibian coastline by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemunde in Germany. Altogether seven species are dealt with, including five new species, of which one is referred to a new genus Lanceophora. The new species include two in the cucumariid subfamily Colochirinae (Ocnus placominutus and O. paracorbulus), two in the cucumariid subfamily Cucumariinae (Panningia pseudocurvata and Lanceophora lanceolata) and one in the family Rhopalodinidae (Rhopalodinaria bocherti). Other species included are Pseudocnus thandari Natasen Moodley, 2008 and an indeterminate species of Cladodactyla in the subfamily Cucumariinae and Trachythyone fallax Cherbonnier, 1958a in the subfamily Colochirinae.
