Trägårdh’s organ distinct.

Epimeral and lateral podosomal regions. Apodemes (1, 2, sejugal, 3) well visible. Four pairs of thin, smooth epimeral setae observed ventrally; all (1a, 3b, 4a, 4b) similar in length, short (8). Discidia triangular, pointed. Circumpedal carinae distinct.

Legs. Tridactylous; claw of each leg smooth. Formulae of leg setation and solenidia: I (1–4–3–4–20) [1–2–2], II (1–4–3–4–15) [1–1–2], III (1–2–1–3–15) [1–1–0], IV (1–2–2–3–12) [0–1–0]; homologies of setae and solenidia indicated in Table 12.

Type material. Collection data for holotype (female): locality 3 (soil); collection data for three paratypes (two females and one male): locality 3 (soil).

Type deposition. The holotype is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia; one paratype in deposited in the collection of the Siberian Zoological Museum, Novosibirsk, Russia; two paratypes are deposited in the collection of the Tyumen State University Museum of Zoology, Tyumen, Russia.

Etymology. The specific name “ longilineata ” refers to the long lamellar lines.

Remarks. The genus Neogalumna was proposed by Hammer (1973) with Neogalumna antenniger Hammer, 1973 as a type species. It is morphologically similar to the genus Galumna. The main morphological difference between these two genera is location of adanal lyrifissures: removed from anal plates, located laterally or anterolaterally to adanal setae ad 3 in Neogalumna versus located very close to anal plates, medially, antero-medially or postero-medially to adanal setae ad 3 in Galumna. However, this character state is inherent for some other taxa in the Galumnoidea (for example, Globogalumna Balogh & Balogh, 1990, some Heterogalumna Balogh, 1960). Thus, we consider that Neogalumna should be included as the subgenus in the genus Galumna: Galumna (Neogalumna) Hammer, 1973 stat. n. Hence, all known species of Neogalumna also should be combined: G. (N.) aethiopica (Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2009) comb. n., G. (N.) antenniger (Hammer, 1973) comb. n., G. (N.) araujoi (Perez-Íñigo & Baggio, 1994) comb. n., G. (N.) curviporosa (Balakrishnan, 1986) comb. n., G. (N.) longiporosa (Liang, Yang & Tang, 2014) comb. n., G. (N.) seniczaki (Ermilov & Anichkin, 2010) comb. n.

Similarly, the situation on taxonomic status of the genus Globogalumna is presented. It was proposed by J. & P. Balogh (1990) with Allogalumna globulifera Balogh & Mahunka, 1978 as a type species. It is morphologically similar to the genus Allogalumna, but adanal lyrifissures removed from anal plates in Globogalumna versus located very close to anal plates in Allogalumna. Thus, we consider that Globogalumna should be included as the subgenus in the genus Allogalumna: Allogalumna (Globogalumna) Balogh & & Balogh stat. n. Hence, all known species of Globogalumna also should be combined: A. (G.) biporosa (Ermilov & Anichkin, 2012) (d) comb. n., A. (G.) globulifera (Balogh & Mahunka, 1978) comb. n.

The subgenus Galumna (Neogalumna) Hammer, 1973 comprises six species, which are distributed in the Oriental and Neotropical regions, north-eastern China, Polynesia and Kenya (data summarized by Subías 2004, updated 2014).

In having the combination of long interlamellar setae, setiform and ciliate bothridial setae, presence of anterior margin of notogaster, presence of four pairs of circular porose areas and striate medial parts of genital plates, Galumna (Neogalumna) longilineata sp. nov. is similar to Galumna (Neogalumna) seniczaki (Ermilov & Anichkin, 2010) from Vietnam. However, it clearly differs from the latter by the presence of long lamellar lines, reaching the insertions of rostral setae (versus short, clearly not reaching the insertions of rostral setae in G. (N.) seniczaki), lamellar setae distinctly longer than rostral setae (versus both similar in G. (N.) seniczaki) and larger porose area Aa (diameter 26–36 versus 16–20 G. (N.) seniczaki).
