[134] (Note #231: 'Holocola ochronephes (Turner, 1946). Part of the type series of H. ochronephes (Turner) is H. obeliscana (Meyrick) and the rest is H. fluidana (Meyrick). Turner did not mention a type in his description but a specimen labelled 'type' by Turner with a label 'Coolangatta' is considered to be the potential lectotype. Coolangatta is not mentioned by Turner but he mentions 'Tweed Heads' which is nearby and Turner is known to have sometimes published a better known locality instead of the locality on the label. The Coolangatta specimen is H. obeliscana but only a formal lectotype designation will finalise the synonymy')
