Dorsum and venter of Monogalumnella neotricha, from Balogh & Balogh (1992 vol. 2).

Belongs within: Circumdehiscentiae.

The Galumnellidae are a group of galumnoid oribatid mites with slender chelicerae and an acuminate rostrum. The notogaster of galumnellids is commonly sculptured, though it is is smooth in Galumnopsis sensu stricto (Balogh & Balogh 1992).
