The subgenus Galumna ( Bigalumna) View in CoL was proposed by Mahunka and Mahunka-Papp (2009) with Galumna ( Bigalumna) rimosa ( Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2009 as type species from Kenya. These authors included this subgenus in the genus Galumna Heyden, 1826 View in CoL . However, all representatives of the latter genus have lamellar setae inserted between lamellar and sublamellar lines. We studied the morphology of paratypes of G. ( B.) rimosa and clarified that lamellar setae are inserted between lamellar lines, and generally, this species has all typical characteristics of the genus Pergalumna Grandjean, 1936 View in CoL . Based on the above statement and generic diagnosis of Pergalumna View in CoL (see Ermilov et al. 2013), we propose the following taxonomic alterations: a) Pergalumna ( Bigalumna) Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2009 View in CoL stat. nov., b) Pergalumna ( Bigalumna) rimosa ( Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2009) View in CoL comb. nov.
