Abstract: | An annotated checklist of identified oribatid mites of the superfamily Galumnoidea collected from Cuba, including ten species from four genera and two families, is provided. Galumna
flabellifera Hammer, 1958, Pergalumna
bifissurata Hammer, 1972, Pergalumna
bryani (Jacot, 1934), Pergalumna
decorata Balogh & Mahunka, 1977 and Galumnopsis
secunda Sellnick, 1923 are recorded for the first time in the Cuban fauna. A new species of Pergalumna, Pergalumna
cubaensis
sp. n., is described; it is morphologically similar to Pergalumna
decorata Balogh & Mahunka, 1977, but differs from the latter by the larger body size, heavily granulated prodorsum and well-developed interlamellar setae. The adult of Allogalumna
cubana Balogh & Mahunka, 1979 is redescribed. |
