Diagnosis 
CommentType species: Agamura cruralis BLANFORD 1874 is the type species of the genus Agamura BLANFORD 1874.

Synonymy: Smith (1935) synonymized A. persica and A. cruralis. This was maintained by Anderson 1999. However, HOSSEINIAN-YOUSEFKHANI et al. 2017 resurrected A. cruralis based on morphology.

Distribution: HOSSEINIAN-YOUSEFKHANI et al. 2018 have a map with both persica and cruralis with the latter being restricted to eastern Iran and W Pakistan.
