Steve, they are related (they actually belong to the maxillaria/zygopetalum alliance, so I'm surprised to see this thread here). Some people lump bollie's into the Pescatorea genus because of similarities between the two. I disagree with the re-classification, though, because bolleas and pescatoreas produce flowers that look quite different from one another.
That's a beautiful Bollea...I love the pink-purple color. Bolleas and pescatoreas are among my favorite orchids. I've yet to get an ecuadorana, though.
