Type Locality

= Besaia (Ogulina) crenelata Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001
= Biula (Curuzza) crenelata Schintlmeister, 2013
Remarks
Schintlmeister (2013) described Curuzza as a subgenus under the genus Biula which is contradicted by Kobayashi & Nonaka (2016) because of its well distinct male genitlia and facies differing from Biula enabling Curuzza to be fixed as a good genus both according to phyletic and phenetic separation. Hence, Curuzza is treated as a valid genus here.
