Remarks: The “Nola” marginata-shakishimana-umbrata species-complex is a rather distinct phyletic group displaying certain unique morphological features which differ significantly from the important generic features of Nola. The species of the complex is presently under revision; the results, containing the description of a new genus for the lineage, will be published in a separate paper.
