Abstract

A new galumnid mite species, Notogalumna lagunaensis n. sp., is described from the Philippines and Vietnam. It is morphologically most similar to N. africana Mahunka, 1988, but differs from the latter by the smaller body size and location of lamellar setae between lamellar lines. Notogalumna is recorded from the Philippines for the first time. A new diagnosis and an identification key to the known species of this genus are provided.
