Description
Amplaria eldora Chamberlin, 1953
Striaria eldora Chamberlin, 1953a, Ent. News 64: 95. Three female syntypes from Crystal Cosumnes Cave, Eldorado Co., California, repository unknown. Hoffman, 1999, Virginia Mus. Nat. Hist. Special Publ. 8: 209 (as Striaria eldora). Shear & Krejca, 2007, Zootaxa 1532: 27. Hoffman (1999) mistakenly refers to a holotype male, possibly deposited in USNMNH, but no such specimen could be located there. Chamberlin (1953b) mentioned a male specimen from Grapevine Cave in Calaveras Co., California (USNMNH) and this specimen was labeled at some point, probably by Hoffman, as a paratype although no published designation as such was ever made. Shear & Krejca based their concept of A. eldora on the Grapevine Cave specimen. Amplaria eutypa Chamberlin 1941, the type species of the genus, was collected nearby and Shear & Krejca thought that S. eldora is likely to be a junior synonym. This species has not been recollected and remains known only from the two above mentioned localities.
