BiOLLEYANA, gcn. nov. 



Allied to SassidUf Stal, but differing by the structure of 

 the face, which possesses three distinct longitudinal carirue, 

 which are almost continuous from base to apex, the central 

 one straight, the others very slightly curved ; the tcgmina 

 arc also shorter and broader, not twice as long as broad, which 

 they are in Sassula. 



Typo, B. pictifrons^ Slal. 



BioUeyana contains the Neotropical species hitherto in- 

 cluded in the Indian and Malayan genus Sassula. 



I have dedicated this genus to the memory of the late 

 Prof. Biol ley, of San Jose, Costa Rica, who did so much to 

 help workers on the insect fauna of Central America.

Fowler has not referred to this species in his enumeration 

 of the Central- American Ricaniidaj. The figure of the face 

 given by Melichar (Taf. xiii. fig. 22) is not accurate and 

 represents a species of the genus Sassula.
