The African forest dwelling Hemiacridine grasshopper genus Kassongia I. Bolivar, 1908, is revised. Keys are provided to the males of the species and subspecies. Three new species, maculifemur sp.n., rufogeniculata sp.n., subfuscata sp.n., and one subspecies, flavovittata microptera subsp.n., are described. Labidioloryma gen.n., with type‐species Labidioloryma strictoforcepts sp.n. from Malawi, is described and allocated to the Loryma genus‐group ( sensu Brown, 1959, 1973).
