Diagnosis.

The females of C. campanulata differ from all other Campanicola species by the copulatory pores that are circular and not clinging to the atrium margin, and the copulatory ducts that curve only twice (Fig. 1D-F ). Males differ from all other Campanicola species by the shorter and darker conductor tip (Fig. 2D-F ).

Description.

See Zhu (1998).

Distribution.

China (Sichuan, new province record; Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan) (Fig. 16 ).
