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].[1]. In turn, Africanogyrus has become a synonym of Hovorbis D.S. Brown & Mandahl-Barth, 1973
Species
The genus Afrogyrus used contains four species, all of which have become synonyms:[1]

- Africanogyrus crassilabrum (Morelet, 1860): synonym of Hovorbis crassilabrum (Morelet, 1860)
- Africanogyrus rodriguezensis (Crosse, 1873)(synonym: Afrogyrus rodriguezensis): synonym of Hovorbis rodriguezensis (Crosse, 1873)
- Africanogyrus starmuehlneri (Brown, 1980)(synonym: Afrogyrus starmuehlneri): synonym of Hovorbis starmuehlneri (Brown, 1980)
gollark: No, there's lots of trading, and you can build cool stuff collaboratively.
gollark: You see some people focusing on different things, though yes, they all have approximately the same sort of base.
gollark: I mean, you can to some degree do that in tekkity servers. It doesn't happen as much, though, possibly because it's hard to do automated trade?
gollark: Also, for neat decorative things, and the very useful stuff you can do with neural interfaces.
gollark: Unlike Terra I do actually like coming up with things, but mostly just use CC to shove into systems as a nice general-purpose tool.
