The Galumnidae is a diverse family of oribatid mites with large pteromorphs on either side of the notogaster that can hinge downwards to cover the legs. The prodorsum lacks true lamellae, but sclerotised lamellar lines and usually sublamellar lines are present in the subfamilies Galumninae and Pergalumninae. These two subfamilies are distinguished by the position of the lamellar setae, which are laterad to the lamellar line in Galumninae but mediad to it in Pergalumninae (Balogh & Balogh 1992). The members of the third subfamily, Allogalumninae, lack the lamellar lines, though the sublamellar lines are present in most genera except Disparagalumna, Psammogalumna and Pilogalumna (Balogh & Balogh 1992).

Characters (from Balogh & Balogh 1992): Chelicerae not peloptoid; rostrum usually rounded. Prodorsum without true projecting lamellae, only with sclerotised lines on surface. Pteromorphae large, auriculate, movable.
