Comparison Pergalumna (Pergalumna) saonaensis sp. nov. is most similar to P. (P.) pauliensis Pérez-Íñigo & Baggio, 1991 from Mexico (see Pérez-Íñigo & Baggio 1991) in the following main traits: body surface without heavy sculpturing or ornamentation; rostrum without tooth; rostral region without longitudinal ridge; bothridial seta long, setiform; interlamellar seta long; dorsosejugal suture interrupted medially; four pairs of notogastral porose areas; median pore absent. However, the new species differs from the latter by the following traits: rostrum with two incisions (versus narrowly rounded); bothridial seta heavily barbed in mediodistal part, directed lateral (versus shortly ciliate unilaterally, directed posterolaterad); notogastral porose area Aa located close and anteromedially to setal alveolus la and distanced from lp (versus between la and lm and equally distanced from them); A 1 in lateral position on notogaster, located anterolaterally to A 2 (versus in dorsal position on notogaster, located anteromedially to A 2). Also, specimens of P. (P.) saonaensis sp. nov. having three pairs of notogastral porose areas (if A 1 and A 2 fused into one elongate oval porose area) is most similar to P. (P.) sura P. Balogh, 1997 (see P. Balogh 1997) and P. (P.) plumata Pérez-Íñigo & Baggio, 1986 (see Pérez-Íñigo & Baggio 1986; Ermilov et al. 2014 a) from the Neotropical region in the following main traits: body surface without heavy sculpturing or ornamentation; rostrum without tooth; rostral region without longitudinal ridge; bothridial seta long, setiform; interlamellar seta long; dorsosejugal suture interrupted medially; three pairs of notogastral porose areas, with Aa elongate oval, transversely oriented; median pore absent. However, the new species differs from both by the morphology and directions of the bothridial seta (heavily barbed in mediodistal part, directed lateral versus shortly ciliate unilaterally, directed posterolaterad) and the location of the notogastral porose area Aa (close and anteromedially to setal alveolus la and distanced from lp versus between la and lm and equally distanced from them). Etymology The species name saonaensis refers to the place of origin, Saona Island.	en	Ermilov, Sergey G. (2024): Oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) of Saona Island, Dominican Republic.
