Agmina semicampanula
sp. nov.
Figs 69-73
Diagnosis.
This species is very similar to
A. campanula
sp. nov., from which it is distinguished by the U-shaped anterior margin of segment IX in ventral view; the smoothly curved sternal process in lateral view; and, in dorsal view, the pair of parameres that have rounded instead of sharply angled posteromesal corners.

Description.
Genitalia
: In lateral view, segment IX triangular anteriorly, apex located dorsally; in ventral view anteriorly widely U-shaped. Sternal process es, lateral view, with each apex almost reaching apex of superior appendage, narrowing along its length, slightly curving downwards, apex acute; in ventral view, robust, anterior half diverging, posterior half parallel, tapering along their length, apex acuminate. Tergum X in lateral view irregularly quadrilateral with concave anterior margin and convex posterior margin, tapering towards posterior, approx. same length as superior appendage; in dorsal view, mesally fused, forming slightly irregular lobes, inner margins forming acuminate triangle. Parameres starting before tergum X, in lateral view long, slender, straight, bifurcating at apex, with dorsal branch orientated sharply dorsad and ventral branch orientated sharply ventrad; in dorsal view, long, slender, straight, slightly converging along its length, slightly diverging and widening at blunt apex. Superior appendages, in lateral view, oblong with anterodorsal tooth, approx. same length as tergum X; in dorsal view stout, almost semi-circular with rounded outer margin, inner margin slightly concave, apex with short, stout, claw-shaped structure directed anteromesad. Inferior appendages, in lateral view, with both branches forming a single posterad orientated, rectangular structure with slightly dentated, truncated, posterior margin; in ventral view semi-bell-shaped, posterior margin slightly convex with shallow teeth. Phallus, in lateral view slightly shorter than segment IX, largely tubular, ventral margin straight; in ventral view tubular with small lateral lobes at anterior end.
