+.. class:: AsyncGenerator(AsyncIterator[T_co], Generic[T_co, T_contra])
+
+   An async generator can be annotated by the generic type
+   ``AsyncGenerator[YieldType, SendType]``. For example::
+
+      async def echo_round() -> AsyncGenerator[int, float]:
+          sent = yield 0
+          while sent >= 0.0:
+              rounded = await round(sent)
+              sent = yield rounded
+
+   Unlike normal generators, async generators cannot return a value, so there
+   is no ``ReturnType`` type parameter. As with :class:`Generator`, the
+   ``SendType`` behaves contravariantly.
+
+   If your generator will only yield values, set the ``SendType`` to
+   ``None``::
+
+      async def infinite_stream(start: int) -> AsyncGenerator[int, None]:
+          while True:
+              yield start
+              start = await increment(start)
+
+   Alternatively, annotate your generator as having a return type of
+   either ``AsyncIterable[YieldType]`` or ``AsyncIterator[YieldType]``::
+
+      async def infinite_stream(start: int) -> AsyncIterator[int]:
+          while True:
+              yield start
+              start = await increment(start)
