Four apseudomorph tanaidaceans are recorded from benthos of the shelf off Angola and off northern Namibia (South West Africa). Of these, three are new to science, one each in the genera Hemikalliapseudes, Calozodion and Apseudopsis. The genus Hemikalliapseudes now contains four species, all described from West Africa (Angola and Mauretania). The new species Hemikalliapseudes sebastiani sp. nov. is separated from other species of this genus by features of several appendages, and the shape of the cephalothorax, pereonites and telson. The genus Calozodion is mainly distributed in the Atlantic and also in the Indian Ocean. Calozodion dominiki sp. nov. is the tenth representative of the genus and is readily distinguished from all others in that the cheliped propodus of the male has only small processes proximo-ventrally. The new species was widely distributed in the investigation area. Apseudopsis cuanzanus sp. nov. is a new member of this species-rich and widely-distributed genus. It differs from the other species of this genus by a combination of several morphological features, including the absence of a dorsodistal spine on the pereopod 1 merus, the lack of anterolateral spines on the pereonites, the shape of rostrum and by the absence of plumose setae on pereopod six basis
