Neogalumna seniczaki
sp. nov.
(
Figs. 42–61
)
Diagnosis.
With character states of
Neogalumna
as proposed by
Hammer (1973)
, and summarized by
Balogh and Balogh (1992)
. Distinguished from other species by combination of the following character states: small size of body, 381–398 × 265–282; surface of body smooth; lamellar line short, straight; rostral and lamellar setae (24–28) setiform, slightly barbed; interlamellar setae (69–77) setiform, with several barbs; sensilli (98– 110) nearly setiform, slightly fusiform with sensillar head indistinct, median and distal parts with several barbs; dorsosejugal suture complete; four pairs of rounded or slightly oval notogastral areae porosae developed; median pore absent; oval postanal area porosa present.
Description.
Measurements
. Body length 381 (
holotype
), 381–398 (
paratypes
); body width 265 (
holotype
), 265–282 (
paratypes
).
Integument
. Body color brown. Surface of body smooth.
Prodorsum
(
Figs. 42, 44, 45
,
48–50
). Rostrum rounded in dorsal view. Lamellar line short, straight. Sublamellar line well developed. Rostral and lamellar setae (24–28) setiform, slightly barbed. Interlamellar setae (69–77) setiform, with several barbs. Sensilli (98–110) nearly setiform, slightly fusiform with sensillar head indistinct, median and distal parts with several barbs. Exobothridial setae not observed. Pair of oval areae porosae

present posterior to interlamellar setae.
Notogaster
(
Figs. 42, 46, 47
,
51, 52

8–10. Median pore absent.
Anogenital region
(
Figs. 43
,
53–56
). Two pairs of anal, three pairs of adanal, one pair of aggenital, six pairs of genital setae very small (2–4). Anterior part of genital plates with two setae (
g
1,
g
2). Ovipositor elongate, narrow (163 × 32). Length of lobes 69, length of cylindrical distal part 94. Setae smooth, ψ1 ≈ τ1 (32) longer than ψ2 ≈ τ a ≈ τ b ≈ τ c (20–24). Setae
k
short (4). Oval postanal area porosa (16–20 × 8–12) present.
Epimeral region
(
Fig. 43
). Only four pairs of very small (4) epimeral setae observed. Epimeral setal formula: 1–0–2–1.
Gnathosoma
(
Figs. 57–59
). Subcapitulum longer than wide: 102 × 94. Hypostomal setae setiform:
h
short (4) smooth;
m
(12) and
a
(20) barbed. Two pairs of setiform, curved, barbed adoral setae (8–10). Palp (length 73) with setation 0–2–1–3–9(+1ω). All setae (except on tarsus) barbed. Chelicera (length 114) with few blunt teeth on fixed and movable digits. Cheliceral setae long, setiform, barbed:
cha
(36) longer, than
chb
(28).
Legs
(
Figs. 60–61
). Formulas 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
) [1–1–0], IV (
1–2–2–3–12
) [0–1–0]; homology of setae and solenidia indicated in
Table 1
. Almost all setae well barbed; some ventral setae of tarsi and tibiae with long cilia. Solenidia ω1 and ω2 on tarsi II, σ on genua III straight or weakly curved, rod-like. Other solenidia rather long, setiform, with thinner tips.

Material examined.
Holotype
,
paratypes
(seven specimens). Specimens were obtained from: Asian region, southern
Vietnam
,
11º26'N
,
107º26'E
, Cat Tien National Park,
137 m
above sea level, in sandy soil of dipterocarp forest,
February – March 2009
, collected by A.E. Anichkin.
Type
deposition.
The
holotype
is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg,
Russia
; five
paratypes
are deposited in the collection of Siberian Zoological Museum, Novosibirsk,
Russia
; two
paratypes
are in the personal collection of the first author.
Etymology.
The species is named in honor of the Polish oribatologist, Prof. Dr. Stanisław Seniczak, University of Technology and Life Sciences, for his extensive contributions to our knowledge of the ontogeny of oribatid mites.
Distribution.
At present, this species is only known from Cat Tien National Park of southern
Vietnam
.
Remarks.
On the basis of the position of lyrifissures
iad
, this species is clearly a member of the genus
Neogalumna
. Currently,
Neogalumna
comprises three species:
N. aethiopica
Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2009
from
Kenya
;
N. antenniger
Hammer, 1973
from
Samoa
Islands;
N. curviporosa
Balakrishnan, 1986
from
India
. The new species differs from all known
Neogalumna
by having a short lamellar line and setiform sensilli (long lamellar line and clavate sensilli in other
Neogalumna
).
