Neogaster View in CoL : OMODEO 1955: 8 (part.), OMODEO 1958: 23 (part.)
Wegeneriella View in CoL : JAMIESON 1974: 73 (part.), OMODEO 2000: 188 (part.)
Pickfordia (Omodeoscolex) : CSUZDI 1993: 67 (part.), CSUZDI 1995: 117 (part.), CSUZDI 1996: 363 (part.)
Diagnosis. Setae closely paired all ventral. Female pores on 14, paired or single. Male apparatus acanthodriline. Muscular gizzards lacking. Two pairs of calciferous glands in 14–15 open in the oesophagus through a common duct. Spermathecal apparatus paired, diverticulum lacking. Excretory system holoic.
Type species – Neogaster africana OMODEO, 1955 .
Distribution – West Africa.
Remarks. Afrogaster gen. n. is close to the South American Omodeoscolex , however differs from it in the common orifice of the two calciferous glands. It is close also to the African Wegeneriella but easy to distinguish by its paired spermathecal apparatus.
