Diagnosis.
Body size: 332–365 × 265–282. Rostrum rounded. Rostral setae long, barbed. Lamellar setae of medium size, thin, indistinctly barbed. Bothridial setae long, clavate, slightly barbed. Sejugal and postanal porose areas and median pore present. Anterior notogastral margin not developed medially. Three pairs of porose areas,
Aa
and
A3

A1

Description.
Measurements

elongate oval (length 32–36), transversely oriented. Setae
la
inserted posterior to
Aa
. Median pore present in males and females, small, inserted posterior to the virtual line connected porose areas
A1

im
located between
Aa
and
A1
. Opisthonotal gland openings located laterally to
A1

Gnathosoma
(
Fig. 18
). Morphology of subcapitulum, palps and chelicerae as described in
Galumna
Heyden, 1826
and
Pergalumna
Grandjean, 1936
(e.g.
Engelbrecht 1969
;
Ermilov & Anichkin 2011
; Ermilov
et al
. 2011, 2014
c
;
Bayartogtokh & Akrami 2014
). Subcapitulum size: 73–82 × 69–73. Subcapitular setae setiform, indistinctly barbed,
a
(12–36) longer and thicker than
m
and
h
(both pairs 8). Two pairs of adoral setae (8) setiform, barbed. Palp length: 57–61. Palp formula is typical (0–2–1–3–9+1ω). Axillary saccules distinct, slightly elongated. Chelicera length: 73–77. Cheliceral setae setiform, barbed,
cha
(28–32) longer than
chb
(18–20). Trägårdh’s organ elongate triangular, rounded distally.

Epimeral and lateral podosomal regions
(
Figs 14
,
15
). Anterior margin of epimere I smooth. Setal formula: 1– 0–2–1. Setae similar in length (4–6), thin, smooth. Pedotecta II rounded distally in ventral view. Discidia triangular. Circumpedal carinae (
cp
) directed to pedotecta I.
Anogenital region
(
Fig. 14
). Six pairs of genital, one pair of aggenital, two pairs of anal and three pairs of adanal setae similar in length (4–6), thin, smooth. Genital plates with two genital setae on anterior edges. Aggenital setae inserted between genital and anal apertures, equal distanced from them. Adanal lyrifissures located close and parallel to anal plates. Setae
ad
3 inserted laterally to
iad
. Distance
ad
1–
ad
2 slightly shorter than
ad
2–
ad
3. Postanal porose area present, oval (10–12 × 6–8), transversely oriented.
Legs
. Morphology of leg segments, setae and solenidia as described in
Galumna
Heyden, 1826
and
Pergalumna

Setogalumna minisetosa
sp. nov.
, adult: 15—anterior part of body, lateral view (subcapitulum and legs not shown); 16—rostrum, frontal view; 17—posterior view; 18—anterior part of subcapitulum, ventral view. Scale bars 100 µm (15–17), 50 µm (18).
Etymology.
The specific name
minisetosa
refers to the very small notogastral setae.
Remarks.
Setogalumna minisetosa
sp. nov.
is morphologically most similar to
S. luzonica
Ermilov
& Corpuz- Raros, 2015
c
from the
Philippines
in having elongated notogastral porose areas
Aa.
However, the new species differs from the latter by its smaller body size (332–365 × 265–282
vs
. 813–1045 × 697–830), the presence of minute interlamellar and notogastral setae (
vs
. well developed) and, median pore (
vs
. absent), elongated notogastral porose areas
A3
(
vs
. rounded), and the absence of notogastral porose areas
A2
(
vs
. present).
