4. Two previous synonymies, Angulogalumna Grishina, 1981 (= Cuspidogalumna Starý, 2005 ) and Galumna (Galumna) Heyden, 1826 (= Kinezogalumna Аoki & Hu, 1993 ), were made online in electronically distributed works (Subías 2004, online versions 2008, 2009, respectively). Unfortunately, these works do not meet the ICZN criteria of publication (Аrt. 8.5). Here we attribute these synonyms and the resulting new combinations to L.S. Subías.

Without sexual dimorphism in prodorsum and notogaster, notogaster rounded posteriorly in both genders. Body surface without strongly developed sculpture or ornamentation.

Lamellar lines present, long, costula-like, straight (directed to rostrum) or curving backwards at ventral end, sublamellar lines absent or present, long, thin, curving backwards at ventral end. Rostral setae close to ends of lamellar lines (if they straight) or medial to lamellar lines and distanced from them. Lamellar setae usually medial, exceptionally lateral to lamellar lines. Bothridial setae setiform, clavate, fusiform, lanceolate. Dorsosejugal suture and postanal porose area absent or present. Notogastral setae represented by 10 pairs of alveoli, one pair on pteromorphs. Octotaxic system represented by porose areas, saccules absent, one pair of Aa. Median pore absent or present in females and males, undivided. Pteromorphs clearly bilobed.
