Annotation:

A new species of Galumna (Oribatida, Galumnidae) is described from Bolivian rainforest leaf litter. Galumna parareticulata sp. n. differs from Galumna reticulata Hammer, 1958 in longer body, pointed rostrum, the presence of a median rostral ridge, longer lamellar seta, and slightly developed head of bothridial seta. The species Galumna lyrica is transferred from the subgenus Galumna to Neogalumna: Galumna (Neogalumna) lyrica (Jacot, 1935) comb. nov. An identification key to the known species/subspecies of the genus from the Neotropical region is presented.
