Subgenus Agoo Bahder & Bartlett subg. n.

(Figs 2–6)

Type species: Omolicna (Agoo) xavieri Bahder & Bartlett sp. n.

Diagnosis. Frons narrower and paranota more strongly foliate than subgenus Omolicna . Ventral lobe of pygofer (ventral view) broad, distally attenuating to rounded apex. Aedeagus and endosoma nearly bilaterally symmetrical. Segment 10 elongate, ventrally sinuate (lacking convexity found in most Omolicna s.s.).

Remarks. The composition of subgenus Agoo subg. n. is limited to Omolicna xavieri for the time being. At present, not all taxa of Omolicna are available for consideration of subgeneric status—this task is considered beyond our current scope and intended for future work. The erection of the new subgenus Agoo for Omolicna xavieri sp. n. is supported by molecular evidence (see below) that places this species as an outlier relative to O. uhleri (Ball), O. joi, O. triata (Caldwell) and O. brunnea (McAtee) .

Etymology. The subgenus name was picked after the lead author asked his four-month-old daughter what name he should choose. Her response was to blow a raspberry, followed by ‘agoo’. Due to the difficulty in spelling the sound of a raspberry, the latter was selected as the subgenus name.
