GENUS Bumaya View in CoL gen. n.

Type species: Bumaya knorozovi View in CoL sp. n., here designated.

Diagnosis: Metope wide and long (1.2 times as long as wide), with very weak traces of median and sublateral carinae. Fastigium obtusely angled (metope completely visible in dorsal view) ( Fig. 9, 10 View Figure 7-12 ). Apex of metope with deep notch, lateral margins with weak middle ledge. Clypeus large, with median carina. Coryphe transverse, wide and short (3.5 times as wide as long), anterior margin straight. Pronotum short, without carinae. Scutellum large, longer than pronotum, with lateral carinae lying on bosses. Fore wings wide, strongly angled at shoulders, without hypocostal plate. Radius and cubitus anterior bifur- cate, median trifurcate (R 2 M 3 CuA 2), with densely reticulate veins. Clavus medially bulbous, with apical concavity near the fusion of Pcu and A 1. Hind wings well developed, reaching the apex of abdomen. Hind tibiae with 2 lateral teeth. Metatarsomere I with 2 intermediate socle setae.

Female. Sternum VII with widely concave hind margin. Anal tube elongate. Gonoplacs rounded.

Etymology: The generic name is derived from the ancient Mesoamerican nation - Maya, preceded by the prefix Bu-, meaning large, because of the large size of the specimens. The gender is feminine.

Comparison: The genus is closely related to Ulixes Stal View in CoL by the fore wings strongly angled at the shoulders. It is distinguished by the wide and long metope, joined with the coryphe at an obtuse angle and wholly visible from above, with a deep notch apically and lateral margins with a weak middle ledge, and with densely reticulate venation of the fore wings.
