Taxonomic remark Shear & Krejca (2007) on page 27 state: "If, as we suspect, Striaria nana Loomis 1936 and Striaria carmela Chamberlin 1947 are both junior synonyms of S. californica (they are certainly synonyms of each other, based on an examination of the types [USNM]; nana is the senior name), it indeed belongs to an undiagnosed genus." They also state that S. californica may belong in Amplaria. [details]
