Janetogalathea, a new genus, is proposed for Galathea californiensis Benedict, 1902. It is differentiated from Galathea by an ill-defined orbit, flattish rostrum laterally bearing a small basal and two large anterior spines, third thoracic sternite anteriorly narrowed and contiguous with laterally expanded preceding sternite, and antennal peduncle fused with the orbit.
