The morphological ontogeny of Galumna flagellata Willmann, 1925 is described and illustrated. The
juveniles of this species are light brown, with prodorsal setae of medium size or long and barbed, and
bothridial seta clavate. The larva has 12 pairs of gastronotal setae, most of the medium size and barbed,
of which seven (d-, l-series, h1) are located on gastronotal shield, nymphs have 15 pairs, mostly short
setae, of which 10 (d-, l-, h-series, p1) are located on the gastronotal shield, setae of c-series are inserted
on individual sclerites. In all juveniles, the typical galumnid humeral organ is absent, but a porose area is
present in this location, which is unique in Galumna.
