Rampalia Shear & Marek, new genus

Type species: Rampalia cheathamensis Shear & Marek, n. sp.

Etymology: The genus name is an arbitrary combination of letters, an anagram of the related genus name Amplaria forming a Latin neologism to be treated as feminine in gender.

Diagnosis: A genus of the subfamily Striariinae by virtue of having gonopods with a flagellocoxite and ninth legs with free telopodites. The gonopod flagellocoxite is inconspicuous. The anterior angiocoxites are erect and fused, a character unique in the family, while the posterior angiocoxites appear to be reduced to just a sheath for the single, small flagellocoxite. The ninth legs are distinctive in the bifurcate coxosternal process and the rather small, elongate telopodites bearing a subterminal lobe.

Description: See the description of the single known species, below.

Included species: Only the type species.

Distribution: Humboldt County, California.
