Etymology The name of the genus is a feminine Latin neologism based on the name of the dinosaur genus Stegosaurus Marsh, 1877 and the type genus of the Striariidae, Striaria. Species of Stegosaurus are unusual in having a double row of crest-like plates down the back; the enlarged second crests of Stegostriaria n. gen. recall this character. [details]
