Table 1
. Famulus on tarsi I inserted between solenidia ω
1
and ω

Type deposition
. The
holotype
and two
paratypes
are deposited in the collection of SMNH.
Six
paratypes
are deposited in the collection of
TSUMZ
.
Etymology.
The specific name
paraokinawana
refers to the similarity between the new species and
Galumnella okinawanaAoki, 2009
.
Remarks.
In having unilaterally dilated, barbed bothridial setae and reticulate notogaster,
Galumnella paraokinawanasp. nov.
is morphologically most similar to
Galumnella okinawanaAoki, 2009
from
Japan
(see
Aoki 2009
), but clearly differs from the latter species by the body surface (completely foveolate; reticulate ornamentation represented by large cells and located only in central part of notogaster versus completely granulate; reticulate ornamentation represented by small cells and located almost on all notogaster).
