A genus of Striariinae consisting of two species, distinct from other small striariids in the form of the male labrum, which is convex distally and with sharp lateral corners, but lacking curved processes (lab, Figs 1, 12). Additional distinguishing characters of the males: first legpair (Fig. 2) lacks needle setae; flasks of coxae 3 very short, with subterminal processes; fourth legpair largest but with short, wide podomeres (L4, Fig. 4); gonopod colpocoxites strongly reduced (Figs 9, 19); ninth legpair with coxal pores and curved coxal processes (cxp, Figs 10, 25).</p> <p>Etymology. The genus name is feminine in gender and is an arbitrary combination of letters.</p> <p>Description. Small species of Striariinae with 28 postcephalic rings. Length 3–4 mm, width about 0.25–0.30 mm. Color white, with single black ommatidium on each side of head. Antennae relatively short, robust, clavate. Head, except for labrum, covered with fine setae and small tubercles (Fig. 1). Collum ornamented by closely set small tubercles, coalescing into vague crests in posterior fifth of collum length. Metazonites with twelve subequal crests (Figs 13, 14); metazonital setae long, prominent, with longitudinal grooves and feathered tips (Figs 15). Telson with three lobes only shallowly separated, not prominent; spinnerets directed posteriad (sp, Fig. 16). Legs with specialized flattened setae with median ridges and long, filamentous extensions (Fig. 6).</p> <p>The following secondary sexual characters occur in males. Head frontally flattened with slight swellings below antennal sockets. Labrum flat and smooth, slightly concave, distal corners distinctly angular, not rounded (lab, Fig. 1). Mandibular stipes with serrate anteriodistal margin, prominent distal tooth (m, Fig 1). First legpair (Fig. 2) enlarged, femora curved, lacking needle setae, distal podomeres with few long, flattened setae ventrally. Second legpair larger than first; openings of vas deferentia separate, subtended by long, flattened, ribbon-like setae (vd, Figs 3, 5). Third legpair robust, coxal flasks short, with subterminal process (Fig. 5); tarsi with special sensory array including comb setae and recessed pore plate (Fig. 6; see Discussion section below for further details). Fourth legpair the largest; prefemora and femora nearly as wide as long (L4, Figs 4, 8). Fifth, sixth and seventh legpairs enlarged; seventh coxae unmodified. Tenth coxae with glands, not modified or enlarged (cx10, Fig. 10).</p> <p>Gonopods (Figs 9, 11, 19–24, 39–44, 46–53), separate from prominent, transverse sternum, coxae large, with two or three setae. Anterior angiocoxites curved, with fimbriate posterior margin distally. Posterior angiocoxites smaller than anterior ones, fimbriate, sheathing single flagellum or flagellocoxite. Colpocoxites membranous-fimbriate, much reduced. Ninth legs (Figs 10, 25, 45), variably free or partially fused to sternum; coxae and telopodites fused, coxae with prominent anterior lobe bearing gland pore, also with strongly curved single process; telopodites strongly flattened, setose, with ornament of pointed tubercles (as on other legs).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CC6F87FEFFF360470AB8FF57FB88BC0E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gonopod variation in this species focuses on the degree to which the anterior angiocoxite is terminally knobbed and the extensiveness of the fimbriated posterior distal margin. In the Ainsworth State Park male (Fig. 43), the fimbriate part appears as a coalesced process. In the Timber (Fig. 44) and Mashel River (Figs 39, 40) males, it is more extensive and does not protrude, and while in the male from Cook-Underwood Road (Figs 41, 42) there is a broad fimbriate region. We do not have enough localities to determine if this is geographic variation or simply due to positioning on a microscope slide.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CC6F87FEFFF260400AB8FF57FDA8B8D7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

As with M. ramifera, variation is evident in the gonopod drawings, but it is not certain if this represents true geographic variation or is simply due to slightly different viewing angles. In the males from Hospital Creek (Fig. 47) and Centralia, the even curvature of the anterior angiocoxite of M. ramifera is approached, while in Lee’s Camp (Figs 52, 53), Kennedy Creek (Fig. 51) and Toutle (Fig. 49) males, the anterior angiocoxite bends at almost a right angle—with the Lee’s Camp (Figs 52, 53) and Kennedy Creek (Fig. 51) males having a distinct knob at the bend. A common feature appears to be the division of the fimbriate posterior angiocoxite into a thin distal branch and a broader, more proximal portion.

Male paratype from Tiger Saddle. Length 4.3 mm, width 0.5mm. Twenty-eight postcephalic rings. Color white, with single black ommatidium on each side of head. Antennae robust, clavate; fifth antennomere longest, widest. Head (Fig. 26) except for labrum covered with fine setae and small tubercles. Labrum not flattened, tapering, corners rounded (lab, Fig. 26). Mandibular stipes (m, Fig. 26) with serrate edge suppressed, distally flattened and extended. Collum (col, Fig. 27) ornamented by closely set small tubercles, becoming indistinct crests only mesally on most posterior part. Metazonites with twelve subequal crests (Fig. 28); metazonital setae (Fig. 29) long, prominent, with longitudinal grooves and feathered tips occupying about 1/3 length of seta. Telson with lateral lobes practically obsolete, median lobe slightly projecting; spinnerets directed posteriorly. Legs with specialized flattened setae with median ridges and long, filamentous extensions.</p> <p>The following secondary sexual characters occur in males. Head (Fig. 26) frontally flattened with slight swellings below antennal sockets; labrum with few setae, distal corners rounded. Mandibular stipes (Fig. 26) with weakly serrate anteriodistal margin, prominent blunt distal tooth. First legpair (L1, Fig. 26) enlarged, femora curved, lacking needle setae, distal podomeres with few long, flattened setae ventrally. Second legpair (L2, Fig. 26; Fig. 30) shorter than first, openings of vas deferentia separate (vd, Fig. 30), subtended by long, flattened, ribbon-like setae, femur distally swollen. Third legpair (L3, Fig. 26; Fig. 31) less robust than first two, coxal flasks absent but coxae complexly excavate; tarsi with special sensory array including comb setae and recessed pore plate. Fourth legpair the largest; prefemora and femora of usual proportions. Fifth coxae (cx5, Fig. 32) with prominent projecting knobs densely set with cuticular teeth, sixth and seventh legpairs enlarged; seventh coxae unmodified. Tenth coxae with glands, not modified or enlarged.</p> <p>Gonopods (Figs 33, 57, 58) separate from prominent, transverse sternum (s, Fig. 33), coxae large (cx, Fig. 33), with five or six setae. Anterior angiocoxites curved, distally attenuated (aac, Figs 33, 57, 58), posterior margin not fimbriate, and with long, robust, curved branch arising near base and appearing almost to be articulated. Posterior angiocoxites (pac, Figs 33, 57, 58) smaller than anterior ones, fimbriate, divided into basal and distal parts, sheathing short, curved single flagellum or flagellocoxite (f, Figs 57, 58). Colpocoxites (cc, Figs 57, 58) membranous-fimbriate, not much reduced. Ninth legs (Fig. 34, 59) free from sternum, coxae and telopodites fused, coxae with prominent anterior poorly sclerotized lobe lacking obvious gland pore—also with strongly curved single process (cxp, Fig. 34) broad at base, distally hooked, with deep recess (pore?) at base; telopodites strongly flattened, setose, with ornament of pointed tubercles (as on other legs). Tenth coxae with pores, not modified.</p> <p>Females similar in all nonsexual characters.</p> <p>Notes. Despite the great distance separating their type localities, this species shares some significant characters with Petra sierwaldae, from Idaho, specifically the lack of flasks on the male third coxae and the modified coxae of legpair 5. The gonopods and second and ninth legpairs, however, are very different, justifying a new genus for this Oregon species. Tigraria oregonensis gonopods, however, are more conforming to the plan found in species of Miniaria, with a branched anterior angiocoxite and a two-part posterior angiocoxite. The male ninth legs also suggest a close relationship with Miniaria. The mandibular stipes is unique in that instead of a tooth-like process distally, the stipes is flattened into an extended lamella. Parts of a specimen from near Tiger Saddle are on SEM stub WS35-17.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CC6F87FEFFF8604C0AB8FE53FEA3BEFF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Third legpair less robust than first two, coxal flasks short (cf, Fig. 38), without subapical branch, strongly procurved and densely set with curled setae. Fourth legpair the largest; prefemora and femora of usual proportions. Fifth, sixth and seventh legpairs enlarged; without modified coxae. Tenth coxae with glands, not modified or enlarged.</p> <p>Gonopods (Fig. 60) separate from prominent, transverse sternum, coxae large, with two distinct groups of setae. Anterior angiocoxites (aac, Fig. 60) short, posterior margin membranous-fimbriate, without subdistal branch. Posterior angiocoxites (pac, Fig. 60) longer than anterior ones, posteriorly fimbriate, apparently not sheathing curved single flagellum or flagellocoxite (f, Fig. 60). Colpocoxites (cc, Fig. 60) as single, short, curved process. Ninth legs (Fig. 61) free from sternum, coxae and telopodites fused, coxae with strongly curved single process (cxp, Fig. 61) pore not observed; telopodites strongly flattened, setose, with ornament of pointed tubercles (as on other legs). Tenth coxae with pores, not modified.</p> <p>Females not collected.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality.</p> <p>Notes. The glandular apophysis on the mandibular stipes of the male (Figs 35, 36) is unique among chordeumatid millipedes, so far as we are aware. The gonopods of this species are difficult to interpret, not closely resembling those of any other striariids. What we are calling the posterior angiocoxite could well be the subapical branch of the anterior angiocoxite, but that would mean that the posterior angiocoxite is missing. The unusual position of the flagellocoxite (or flagellum) shown in Fig. 60 could be a result of mounting the gonopod on a microscope slide with the pressure of the coverglass. Unfortunately a lack of material prevented us from making further observations.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CC6F87FEFFFA60550AB8F921FAE8BB8B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
