S. Shimano, 17 December 2017.</p><p>Type depository. Holotype and all paratypes are deposited in NSMT—the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba, Japan (Zhang 2018).</p><p>Etymology. This species is named in honor of our esteemed colleague and friend Dr. Ekaterina A. Sidorchuk, who made a great contribution to the knowledge of mite diversity in Baltic amber inclusions.</p><p>Remarks. Trichogalumna seminuda Balogh, 1960 known from Angola, Trichogalumna arborea Ohkubo, 1984 from Japan, Trichogalumna vietnamica Mahunka, 1987 from Vietnam, Trichogalumna africana Ermilov, Sidorchuk &amp; Rybalov, 2011 from Ethiopia, and a semicosmopolitan species, Trichogalumna nipponica (Aoki, 1966) (see Balogh 1960; Aoki 1966; Ohkubo 1984; Mahunka 1987; Ermilov et al. 2011) are similar to Trichogalumna ekaterinae sp. nov. in the morphology of asymmetrically dilated sensillus. However, all these known species have clearly developed four pairs of porose areas (vs. A 1 absent in the new species), and a much larger body size (body sizes more than 350 × 240 µm vs. 259 × 178 µm). Additionally, T. seminuda differs from the present new species by the very long interlamellar seta extending beyond the rostrum, and distinctly barbed rostral setae. The other African species, T. africana is different from the present new species in the relatively slender sensillus with a small notch behind the tip of the sensillar head. The Japanese species, T. arborea differs from the new species in the well-developed transverse bands on the notogaster and ano-genital region, as well as in the finely wrinkled and granulated structure of the humeral region. The Oriental species, T. vietnamica can easily be distinguished from T. ekaterinae sp. nov. by the long, barbed rostral seta. The semicosmopolitan species, T. nipponica has a much slender, distally barbed lanceolate sensillus rather than the largely dilated, smooth sensillus shown in the present new species.</p><p>It should be noted here that the holotype of Trichogalumna ekaterinae sp. nov. has the left porose area A 1 divided into two parts, which seems to be an abnormal character. Klimov &amp; Ermilov (2017) studied the evolutionary dynamics of gain and loss of the notogastral porose areas of Galumnoidea Jacot, 1925 with respect to the various modifications of their properties, such as shape and position. These authors concluded that patterns of expression of porose areas in abnormal individuals and rare species suggest that this may be a complex, non-Mendelian character, encoded by several genes (i.e. a polygenic trait). They also proposed that the loss of porose areas is not likely to be down-regulated by a third gene.</p><p>Genus Galumna Heyden, 1826</p><p>Type species: Notaspis alatus Hermann, 1804</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7E5A743ABA0F4525FF23B8CCD609011B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body color dark brown; body covered by cerotegumental granules or small tubercles. Body length 307 µm, width of notogaster 211 µm; length of notogaster 224 µm. Rostrum rounded dorsally, but distinctly protruded in lateral view; inner rostral tooth (irt) of rostrum distinct (Fig. 2B). Lamellar (L) and sublamellar (S) ridges parallel, curving backwards (Fig. 2C). Rostral seta (ro) ∼ 24 µm, lamellar seta (le) ∼ 11 µm, both setae thin, smooth; interlamellar (in) and notogastral setae (c, la, lm, lp, h 1 - h 3, p 1 - p 3) represented by their alveoli. Sensillus relatively short, clavate, unilaterally barbed (Fig. 2G). Porose area Ad oval; exobothridial seta and porose area Al not evident. Anterior margin of notogaster almost straight, very slightly concave. Dorsophragma (D) slightly elongated longitudinally. Four pairs of notogastral porose areas, Aa, A 1, A 2 irregular round to oval, A 3 elongate oval; median pore (mp) well developed. All lyrifissures (ia, im, ip, ih, ips) and opisthonotal gland opening (gla) distinctly developed (Fig. 2A, E). Morphology of subcapitulum, palps and chelicerae typical for Galumna (e.g. see Ermilov &amp; Corpuz-Raros 2016). Epimeral setae 1a, 3a well developed, 3b, 4b represented by their alveoli; other setae not evident. Discidium (dis) subtriangular. Circumpedal carina (cp) long, anteriorly extending beyond level of pedotectum II. Six pairs of genital (g 1 – g 6), two pairs of anal (an 1, an 2) and three pairs of adanal (ad 1 – ad 3) setae thin, smooth, 8–14 µm in length; seta ag represented by its alveolus. Adanal lyrifissure (iad) located close and parallel to anal aperture at level of ad 3 (Fig. 2D). Postanal porose area (Ap) elongate oval (Fig. 2F). Legs tridactylous, setation typical for family (e.g. see Ermilov &amp; Corpuz-Raros 2016).</p><p>Material examined. One specimen (female): Raelkelat, Island of Babeldaob, Republic of Palau, from moss sample growing in a secondary forest, 7°28’59”N, 134°29’32”E, coll. S. Shimano, 17 December 2017.</p><p>Distribution. Initially, this species was described by Hammer (1958) from Bolivia, and later it was reported from Pacific and Indian islands, such as Laysan, Tahiti, Fiji and Mauritius (Aoki 1964; Hammer 1971, 1972; Mahunka 1978), as well as Thailand (Aoki 1965), South Africa (Engelbrecht 1972), and several other areas of the tropical and subtropical regions (Al-Assiuty 1985; Ermilov &amp; Anichkin 2010; Ermilov &amp; Tolstikov 2015 a, b). It is an inhabitant of the roots of grasses, mosses, soil and litter of the grasslands and various forests, seashore habitats, cliff sides and swampy marshes.</p><p>Remarks. The characters of the present material correspond well with those of the materials studied by Hammer (1958), Aoki (1964, 1982), Mahunka (1978) and Al-Assiuty et al. (1985). This is a morphologically quite variable species, and therefore, has been reported under several synonyms. This species is recorded for the first time from Palau.</p><p>Aoki (1965) described a subspecies, G. flabellifera orientalis from Thailand, but later he considered the differences mentioned by him as not sufficient for the subspecific segregation and therefore, synonymized G. flabellifera orientalis with the nominal subspecies (Aoki 1982). In both lists by Subías (2004; online version 2019), and in Ermilov &amp; Klimov (2017), this subspecies was listed as a valid taxon, which should be eliminated in their next update.</p><p>This species acts as an intermediate host of anoplocephalid tapeworms in sheep pastures (Bayoumi et al. 1981; Balakrishnan &amp; Haq 1984).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7E5A743ABA0D4523FF23BA17D5AC03FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
