Abstract
An overall revision of this heterogenous, catch-all genus has been car ried out: the genus Benhamia Michaelsen (type species B. rosea Michael sen) is redefined, three new genera are established: Benhamiona n. gen . (type species Benhamia baumanni Mich.), Guninoscolex n. gen. (type D ichogaster inaequalis Mich.), and Monothecodrilus n. gen. (type specie s Dichogaster scherbroensis Mich.). The type species of the genera Omo deona Sims, 1967 and Dichogaster Beddard, 1888 are redescribed. Three new species are described in the new genus Behamiona.
