Allogalumna is a genus of Galumnidae that was proposed by Grandjean (1936) with Galumna alamellae Jacot, 1935 as type species
We propose a new species of the genus Allogalumna collected from Qinghai Province, based on adult specimens
Summary
The family Galumnidae (Acari: Oribatida) is one of the large groups of oribatid mites. We propose a new species of the genus Allogalumna collected from Qinghai Province (northwest China), based on adult specimens. Until 2013, Ermilov et al pointed out if males and females have one median pore or not to have median pore absolutely these species should be included in Allogalumna.
