One of these was selected as an informal lectotype by Edwards (1996), and is the species to which the name [was] here applied. Another specimen, belonging to a different species was described and figured by Hampson (1900) as Nola paroxynta Meyrick. Meyrick may have had a mixed series or Hampson (1900) may have misidentified the species. The species described by Hampson should not be named and redescribed until the group is thoroughly revised)
