Remarks.
The genus
Neogalumna
was proposed by
Hammer (1973)
with
Neogalumna antenniger
Hammer, 1973
as a
type
species. It is morphologically similar to the genus
Galumna
. The main morphological difference between these two genera is location of adanal lyrifissures: removed from anal plates, located laterally or anterolaterally to adanal setae
ad
3 in
Neogalumna
versus located very close to anal plates, medially, antero-medially or postero-medially to adanal setae
ad
3 in
Galumna
. However, this character state is inherent for some other taxa in the Galumnoidea (for example,
Globogalumna
Balogh & Balogh, 1990
, some
Heterogalumna
Balogh, 1960
). Thus, we consider that
Neogalumna
should be included as the subgenus in the genus
Galumna
:
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
Hammer, 1973
stat. n.
Hence, all known species of
Neogalumna
also should be combined:
G.

)

Similarly, the situation on taxonomic status of the genus
Globogalumna
is presented. It was proposed by J. &
P. Balogh (1990)
with
Allogalumna globulifera
Balogh & Mahunka, 1978
as a
type
species. It is morphologically similar to the genus
Allogalumna
, but adanal lyrifissures removed from anal plates in
Globogalumna
versus located very close to anal plates in
Allogalumna
. Thus, we consider that
Globogalumna
should be included as the subgenus in the genus
Allogalumna
:
Allogalumna
(
Globogalumna
) Balogh
& & Balogh
stat. n.
Hence, all known species of
Globogalumna
also should be combined:
A.
(
G.
)
biporosa
(Ermilov & Anichkin, 2012)
(

)
comb. n.
,
A.
(
G.
)
globulifera
(
Balogh & Mahunka, 1978
)
comb. n.
The subgenus
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
Hammer, 1973
comprises six species, which are distributed in the Oriental and Neotropical regions, north-eastern
China
, Polynesia and
Kenya
(data summarized by
Subías 2004
, updated 2014).
In having the combination of long interlamellar setae, setiform and ciliate bothridial setae, presence of anterior margin of notogaster, presence of four pairs of circular porose areas and striate medial parts of genital plates,
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
longilineata
sp. nov.
is similar to
Galumna
(
Neogalumna
)
seniczaki
(
Ermilov & Anichkin, 2010
)
from
Vietnam
. However, it clearly differs from the latter by the presence of long lamellar lines, reaching the insertions of rostral setae (versus short, clearly not reaching the insertions of rostral setae in
G.
(
N.
)
seniczaki
), lamellar setae distinctly longer than rostral setae (versus both similar in
G.
(
N.
)
seniczaki
) and larger porose area
Aa
(diameter 26–36 versus 16–20
G.
(
N.
)
seniczaki
).
