      In 1992, A.~M.~Breda classified monohedral folding tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere. An edge-to-edge tiling of the sphere is folding if the angle-folding relation is satisfied. Recently a series of works of Portuguese mathematicians has appeared where dihedral folding tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by spherical parallelograms and spherical triangles were enumerated. The paper under review continues this series and studies dihedral folding tilings of the sphere whose prototiles are a spherical equilateral or isosceles triangle and a spherical isosceles trapezoid. The obtained classification is given in figures with description of the combinatorial structure of tilings, including their symmetry group. Note that R.~J.~Dawson and B.~Doyle have studied some classes of spherical tilings without folding restriction.
