(no title)

Nola Leach, (18151. The use of Nola Leach follows Poole (1989) in general, but see also Holloway (2003). There are many generic names synonymised with it which have type species from Australia. They are Dimona Walker, Tribununta Walker, Sorocostia Rosenstock, Cryphimaea Turner, Nestiodes Turner, Idiocyttara Turner and Neocleta Turner. Holloway (2003) revised the Bornean members of this group, and made several changes which affect the Australian fauna. Of these, Dimona Walker, Tribununta Walker and Sorocostia Rosenstock do not fall under the strict definition of Nola presented in Holloway and Miller (1995), and could possbily be included in Manoba Walker, but for the most part Australia species referred to these genera are retained here in Nola until members of the group are thoroughly revised.
