- Abstract
The oribatid mite genusSacculogalumna(Oribatida: Galumnidae) is recorded in the Philippines for the first time. A new species,S. samarensisn. sp., is described from secondary forest litter in the Western and Eastern Samar Provinces in Samar Island. It differs fromS. saccularisandS. suiyangensisin having pointed rostrum, setiform bothridial setae, reticulate pteromorphs, long and thickened adanal setaead1andad2and one seta on anterior edges of genital plates, by the location of lamellar setae between lamellar lines, and the absence of postanal porose area, and by the medially interrupted dorsosejugal furrow. The inclusion of the new species inSacculogalumnais proved, and an identification key to known species of the genus is given. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4D40D41A-EF5C-423D-AAB3-857C16B10BE8
