The Prefrattini subgroups of a finite soluble group were introduced by Gaschutz [3]. These are a conjugacy class of subgroups which avoid complemented chief factors and cover Frattini chief factors. Gaschutz [3, Satz 7.1] showed that if G has p-length 1 for each prime p, and if U≤G avoids all complemented chief factors and covers all Frattini factors, then U is a Prefrattini subgroup of G. We begin by proving the analogous result for the f-Prefrattini subgroups introduced by Hawkes [5], If f is a saturated formation, then the f-Prefrattini subgroups of G are a conjugacy class of subgroups which avoid f-eccentric complemented chief factors of G and cover all other chief factors of G.
