Spirostreptus digitus sp. nov. is described based on specimens from Tanzania, and the genus Spirostreptus Brandt,
1833 is discussed, as is the higher classification of the family Spirostreptidae. Gonopod illustrations of S. heros Porat,
1872, and S. tripartitus Cook & Collins, 1893, are provided for comparison with the new, morphologically very distinct
species. Analocostreptus Silvestri, 1910, is suggested as the valid genus name for the species currently being placed in
Spirostreptus sensu auctorum, nec Brandt, 1833, and 32 nominal species of Spirostreptus are placed in new combinations
with Analocostreptus, viz., Analocostreptus amandus (Attems, 1914), comb. nov., Analocostreptus biconus (Attems,
1934), comb. nov., Analocostreptus bonifatius (Attems, 1914), comb. nov., Analocostreptus castaneus (Attems, 1934),
