Abstract

Two new species of the oribatid mite genus Galumnella (Oribatida, Galumnellidae) are described from the Philippines. Galumnella processa sp. n. differs from G. junichiaokii Ermilov, Corpuz-Raros et Shimano, 2014 in a triangular process on the anterior margin of the ventral plate and in smooth bothridial setae. Galumnella quezonensis sp. n. differs from G. cellularis Balogh et Mahunka, 1967 in a larger body and in the presence of bothridial setae with very long and thin apices and of longitudinal ridges in the anogenital region.
