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.
