Peltastanomala G.W.Saunders & Kraft , gen. nov.

Type: Peltastanomala virantra G.W.Saunders & Kraft.

A monotypic genus, the description as for the single species, P. virantra .

Etymology

Named for the relationship to Peltasta , as is strongly indicated by the molecular data but differing in many anatomical aspects (such as the prominent uniaxial, rather than multiaxial structure and especially the unique configurations of the spermatangial cavities), making this highly anomalous and counter-intuitively included in the Peltastaceae .
