Etymology The name of the genus is a feminine Latin neologism based on the name of the dinosaur genus Kentrosaurus Hennig, 1915, of the family Stegosauridae, and Striaria, the name of the type genus of the family. In addition to the double row of crest-like plates down the back, Kentrosaurus species also have at least one lateral crest projecting above the forelimbs, recalling that Kentrostriaria n. gen. has, on the anterior metazonites, enlarged third crests extending somewhat laterally.
