ResumoAbstract Only twelve species of Dryinidae and no species of Strepsiptera are known so far from Mozambique. In 1993–1996 the author collected and reared several species there, resulting in the discovery of three new species of Dryinidae (Gonatopus mossambicus, G. faustae and G. gazensis) and 10 known species of which 5 are new records from Mozambique [Dryinus orophilus (Benoit), Gonatopus similis Brues, G. rubripes (Olmi), G. capensis Brues and G. guigliae (Benoit)]. A new combination and a new name (Gonatopus maputensis) are proposed for Paradicondylus australis Olmi. The males of Gonatopus maputensis, G. communis Olmi, G. rubripes and G. guigliae are described for the first time. The author also reared the following Strepsiptera: Elenchus tenuicornis (Kirby) from Toya propinqua (Fieber) and Halictophagus australensis Perkins from Cofana spectra Distant (new records from Mozambique).
