Abstract

A new species of Galumna (Oribatida, Galumnidae) is described from moss (Sphagnum sp.) growing in a seepage area below a permanent spring in South Africa; Galumnasphagni sp. n. is similar to G. baloghi Wallwork 1965, but differs by the larger body, the swollen and entirely barbed heads of bothridial setae, the presence of a striate ornamentation on the genital plates and lateral parts of epimeres I, II, and the Spelling: location of aggenital setae close to the genital plates. An identification key to the species of the subgenus Galumna (Galumna) known from the Ethiopian Region, as well as data on their distribution in South Africa are presented
