Agnetina
DIAGNOSIS:
The male hemitergal processes of this species are very long (
Fig. 203
), extending across tergite 8, in contrast to
Kamimuria
and
Paragnetina
which have much shorter processes. The hemitergal processes generally taper to the apex and their shape and length is often diagnostic. The female subgenital plate is broadly rounded (
Fig. 204
), without a central notch as in
Kamimuria
and
Paragnetina
. The nymph has anal gills (
Fig. 195
) and a complete setal fringe on the posterior margin of abdominal sternum 7 (
Fig. 195
), both characters of which are lacking in other Mongolian
Perlidae
. The interocellar area of nymphs is dark (
Fig. 205
), where as
Kamimuria
and
Paragnetina
have pale markings in the ocellar region.
