Gnathosoma ( Figs. 18–20 ). Subcapitulum longer than wide: 184 × 164. Hypostomal setae a , m , h setiform, slightly barbed; h (36–41) longer than a (28–32) and m (24). Two pairs of setiform, curved, barbed adoral setae (16). Palp (length 155) with setation 0–2–1–3–9(+1ω). All setae (except on tarsus) barbed. Chelicera (length 221–233) with few blunt teeth on fixed and movable digits. Cheliceral setae long, setiform, barbed: cha (73–77) longer, than chb (45–53). Legs ( Figs. 21–22 ). 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 (three 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.

The holotype is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia ; two paratypes are deposited in the collection of Siberian Zoological Museum, Novosibirsk, Russia ; one paratype are in the personal collection of the first author. Etymology. The name “ acutirostrum ” refers to the pointed rostrum. Distribution. At present, this species is only known from Cat Tien National Park of southern Vietnam . TABLE 1.

In having the combination of a pointed rostrum, long prodorsal setae ( ro , le , in ), nearly setiform sensilli, incomplete dorsosejugal suture, and four pairs of notogastral areae porosae, G. acutirostrum is similar only to Galumna grandjeani Balogh, 1962 from Central Africa ( Balogh 1962 ). It differs from the latter by having smaller, rounded or oval notogastral areae porosae (large notogastral areae porosae, A1 triangular, A2 and A3 obviously oblonged in G. grandjeani ) and the presence of a single postanal area porosa (two in G. grandjeani ). Galumna acutirostrum sp. nov. in having the combination of a pointed rostrum, long prodorsal setae, incomplete dorsosejugal suture, four pairs of notogastral areae porosae is similar to Galumna valida Aoki, 1994 from Micronesia , but differs from later by larger body size (747–846 × 630–680 in new species; 705–760 × 600–630 in Galumna valida ); lamellar setae shorter than interlamellar setae (lamellar setae longer than interlamellar setae in Galumna valida ); setiform, thickened sensilli without sensillar head (sensilli with spindle-shaped sensillar head in Galumna valida ).
