Africanogyrus

Africanogyrus is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.

In 2007 the genus Afrogyrus was defined as a junior homonym and Africanogyrus was proposed as a replacement name. Africanogyrus would replace Afrogyrus Brown & Mandahl-Barth, 1973 [not the same thing as Afrogyrus Brinck, 1955]. In turn, Africanogyrus has become a synonym of Hovorbis D.S. Brown & Mandahl-Barth, 1973
