With characters of the genus
Galumna
as summarized by Ermilov

(2013

) and subgenus
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
as summarized by
Hammer (1973)
for the genus
Neogalumna
.
Diagnosis.
Body size 381–415 × 265–298. Rostral and lamellar setae of medium size, interlamellar setae short. Bothridial setae setiform, ciliate. Lamellar lines straight, short. Four pairs of porose areas oval or circular. Median pore absent. Medial part of genital plates with longitudinal stria. Postanal porose area oval.
Description.
Measurements
. Body length 398 (
holotype
: female), 381–415 (four
paratypes
: three females and one male); body width 282 (
holotype
), 265–298 (four
paratypes
).
Integument
. Body color yellowish-brown. Body surface smooth. Pteromorphs with weakly developed radiate wrinkles. Medial part of genital plates with longitudinal stria.
Prodorsum
. Rostrum widely rounded. Rostral and lamellar setae of medium size (both 20–24), setiform, slightly barbed. Interlamellar setae short (4–6), thin, smooth. Bothridial setae (118–131) longest on prodorsum, setiform, ciliate. Exobothridial setae absent. Lamellar and sublamellar lines distinct. Lamellar lines straight, short, clearly not reaching insertions of rostral setae. Sublamellar lines typical for
Galumna
: long, curving backwards. Porose areas
Ad
oval, transverse, elongate (20 × 4–8).
Notogaster
. Anterior notogastral margin developed. Dorsophragmata small. Notogastral setae represented by ten pairs (additionally
c
x present) of alveoli (eleventh pair located on pteromorphs). Four pairs of porose areas (
Aa
, 20–32 × 12–20, oval;
A1
, 16 × 10–12, oval or 6–10, circular;
A2
, 6–12, circular;
A3
, 8–20 × 6–12, oval or 6–16, circular), with distinct borders. Alveoli of setae

located posteriorly to
Aa
. Lyrifissures

located between
lm
and
A1
. Opisthonotal gland openings located laterally to
A1
. Median pore absent in all specimens.

Gnathosoma
. Subcapitulum longer than wide (102–106 × 98). Subcapitular setae setiform;
a
(20–24) and

(16–20) slightly barbed,

(4–8) smooth. Two pairs of adoral setae (8–12) setiform, slightly barbed. Palps (82) with setation 0–2–1–3–9(+ω). Solenidion little longer than half of palptarsus length, straight, thickened, blunt-ended, attached to eupathidium. Chelicerae (110–123) with two barbed setae;
cha
(32–41) longer than

Epimeral and lateral podosomal regions
. Apodemes (1, 2, sejugal, 3) well visible. Four pairs of thin, smooth epimeral setae observed ventrally;

Anogenital region
. Six pairs of genital, one pair of aggenital, two pairs of anal and three pairs of adanal setae similar in length (6–12), thin, smooth. Anterior edge of genital plates with two setae. Adanal lyrifissures

3. Postanal porose area oval (20–24 × 12–14).
Legs
. Tridactylous; claw of each leg smooth. Formulae of leg setation and solenidia: I (
1–4–3–4–20
) [1–2–2], II (
1–4–3–4–15
) [1–1–2], III (
1–2–1–3–15

Type
material.
Collection data for
holotype
(female): locality 6 (soil); collection data for four
paratypes
(three females and male): locality 5 (soil).
Type
deposition.
The
holotype
is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg,
Russia
; three
paratypes
are deposited in the collection of the Siberian Zoological Museum, Novosibirsk,
Russia
; one
paratype
is deposited in the collection of the Tyumen State University Museum of Zoology, Tyumen,
Russia
.
Etymology.
The specific name is dedicated to our colleague, acarologist, Dr. Andrei V. Tolstikov (Tyumen State University, Tyumen,
Russia
).
Remarks.
In having the combination of the short and straight lamellar lines, setiform and ciliate bothridial setae, presence of anterior margin of notogaster, presence of four pairs of circular or oval porose areas and striate medial parts of genital plates,
Galumna
(
Neogalumna

is similar to
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
seniczaki
(
Ermilov & Anichkin, 2010
)
from
Vietnam
. However, it clearly differs from the latter by the presence of short (4–6) interlamellar setae (versus long,

).
