Genus Carolaia nom. nov.

Type species. Caroliniella rosea Cadena-Castañeda, 2015 View in CoL , here designated.

Carolaia nom. nov. is proposed as an objective replacement name for Caroliniella Cadena-Castañeda, 2015 View in CoL preoccupied, as it is a junior homonym of Caroliniella Blair, 1940 View in CoL (:149) ( Coleoptera View in CoL : Cerambicidae).

Etymology. The original dedicatory to my wife Carolina Cortes is preserved. The ending - aia refers to its closeness to the genus Ceraia Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 . The gender of the name is being established as feminine.

Carolaia rosea ( Cadena-Castañeda, 2015) n. comb. Colombia.
