... The world Lepidopterum catalogus of Noctuidae by Poole (1989) is still the major reference for Nolidae species. A huge gap in taxonomic studies occurs for this family regarding the Indian fauna although some of the major works from surrounding countries/regions by Kobes (1987;Sumatra), Nepal), Holloway ( , 2008Holloway ( , 2009Borneo), Kononenko & Pinratana (2013;Thailand), László et al.

The present catalogue is the first résumé of the family Nolidae Bruand, 1846 recorded in India comprising 354 species under 98 genera of 6 subfamilies, including four new records to India: Casminola seminigra (Hampson, 1896), Evonima ronkaygabori Han & Hu, 2019, Meganola suffusata (Wileman & West, 1929) and Nola euryzonata (Hampson, 1900). The Indian Nolidae represents 16.2 % of the global species (2,179 species) of Nolidae. The information on the type locality, type depository, sex of the type (wherever available), first reference, synonymy, host plants (wherever available) and distribution within as well as outside India for each of the included species is provided. Some clarifications regarding type locality, type depository along with new distributional records within Indian states are also given with 72 images of adults.
... In addition, H. ceciliae has straight, subapically laced aedeagus, while that of H. sapatagka is evenly arcuate and gradually tapered apically. Due to the configuration of the male genitalia, namely the similarly reduced uncus, H. ceciliae shows closer relationship to H. donglashanensis (Hu, Han, László, Ronkay & Wang, 2014) but distinguished by its somewhat longer tegumen, much smaller ventral lobe of valva, considerably thicker, more robust harpe and markedly longer vinculum compared to those of H. donglashanensis. In addition, the aedeagus of the new species is straight, subapically laced, while that of its congener is evenly curved, apically suddenly narrowed (Hu et al. 2014). ...

In addition, the aedeagus of the new species is straight, subapically laced, while that of its congener is evenly curved, apically suddenly narrowed (Hu et al. 2014). Despite the similarities in their genitalia, the external appearance of H. ceciliae and H. donglashanensis are somewhat dissimilar as the latter species is larger in size (with wingspan of 15 mm, that of H. ceciliae is 10 mm only) having white forewing with brownish median area while the forewing of the new species is pale yellowish with some greyish green shade, without darker median area. ...
This paper provides a comprehensive check list of Nolinae species recorded in Hong Kong, China based on the collections of the second author, Dr. Roger Kendrick and the Natural History Museum, London. The checklist comprises 30 species. Two of them are new to science and described here as new species (Spininola kendricki sp. n., and Hampsonola ceciliae sp. n.). Misidentification of the female paratype of Spininola nepali László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is revealed and the true female of S. nepali is illustrated with its genitalia described here for the first time. The hitherto unknown female of S. armata László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010 is also illustrated here for the first time. All species recorded from Hong Kong are illustrated together with their genitalia on 54 colour and 46 black and white diagnostic figures.
... The genus Meganola Dyar (1898) is one of the most diverse genera of the subfamily Nolinae. In the Oriental Region, more than 50 Meganola species are known (Holloway 2003;Hu et al. 2014;Inoue 1998;Joshi et al. 2019;Kononenko & Pinratana 2013;László 2016;László et al. 2014;László et al. 2005László et al. , 2007aLászló et al. , 2007bLászló et al. , 2010. The Nolinae fauna of Laos has been one of the least known in Indochina, with only very few published records. ...
The paper contains the description of two new Meganola Dyar, 1898 species (M. canaliculata Cha & Bae, sp. n. and M. phuana Cha & Bae, sp. n.) and a new record of M. tetrodon (de Joannis, 1928) from Laos. Color figures of adults and genitalia of the examined species are provided.
... The family Nolidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) is one of the quadrifid noctuoid families, with approximately 1,750 described species, in 186 genera belonging to eight subfamilies worldwide: Beaninae, Chloephorinae, Collomeninae, Diphtherinae, Eligminae, Nolinae, Risobinae and Westermanniinae (Nieukerken et al. 2011;Zahiri et al. 2012). Among countries adjacent to Korea, 13 species of Nolinae have been reported from the Russian Far East (Tshistjakov 2008), and 38 species from China (Hua 2005;László et al. 2005László et al. , 2010Shao et al. 2008;Hu et al. 2013;Hu et al. 2014;Han and Hu 2016;Hu et al. 2017). Japan has 53 species (Sasaki 2011). ...
The genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 is reviewed for Korea, with 12 species, including the new species, Meganola parki Oh & Cha, sp. n. Illustrations of adults and genitalia of all the Korean species are provided, with a key to species of Meganola based on the external morphology and male genitalia. All known host plants are provided, some of them newly recorded.
An updated checklist of 91 species under 21 genera of the subfamily Nolinae has been compiled. The detailed information
about distribution within India as well as in other countries, first reference, latest reference, type locality, type depository,
synonymy has been provided for each species. Clarifications regarding type locality, type material and distributional limits
within India are also given.
Present paper contains the descriptions of four new genera distinguished from the collecting genus Meganola s.l. (Hamp-sonola, Wittonola, Fragilonola and Maculonola gen. n.) and 11 new species (Meganola pseudobasalactifera, Hampsono-la diehli, H. subbasirufa, H. angustifasciata, H. stueningi, H. micra, Wittonola latifasciata, Nanola rothschildi, Fragilonola fragilis, F. parentela and Maculonola dolokmerangirensis spp. n.) from South East Asia. Based on genital morphology the concept of the genus Nanola is extended, involving several species treated earlier as Meganola. Meganola yakovlevi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2010 is synonymised with M. tetrodon (de Joannis, 1928), and M. pekarskyi László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is synonymised with Nanola liaoningensis (Han & Li, 2008), syn. n. 45 new combinations and 2 new stati are established. With 48 colour photos and 42 genitalia figures.
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for heart failure, however the effective selection of patients and optimisation of therapy remain controversial. While extensive research is ongoing, it remains unclear whether improvements in patient selection or therapy planning offers a greater opportunity for the improvement of clinical outcomes. This computational study investigates the impact of physiological conditions that guide patient selection, and of the optimisation of pacing lead placement, on CRT outcomes. A multi-scale biophysical model of cardiac electromechanics was developed and personalised to patient data in three patients. These models were separated into components representing cardiac anatomy, pacing lead location, myocardial conductivity and stiffness, afterload, active contraction and conduction block for each individual, and recombined to generate a cohort of 648 virtual patients. The effect of these components on the change in total activation time of the ventricles (ΔTAT) and acute haemodynamic response (AHR) was analysed. The pacing site location was found to have the largest effect on ΔTAT and AHR. Secondary effects on ΔTAT and AHR were found for functional conduction block and cardiac anatomy. The simulation results highlight a need for a greater emphasis on therapy optimisation in order to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
Present paper is the first comprehensive summary of the Nolinae (sensu stricto) fauna of Northern Thailand. It contains the records of 127 species occurring in this area, with the descriptions of 16 new genera and 46 new species, numerous new combinations, stati and synonyms. With 11 colour plates and 58 genitalia figures.
The paper contains the analysis of the taxonomic Status of three poorly known species of the genus Meganola DYAR, 1898: Meganola ascripta (HAMPSON, 1894), Meganola cuneifera (WALKER, 1862) and Meganola ruficostata (HAMPSON, 1896), stat. rev. as bona species. Three new species are described: Meganola calligrapha sp. nov. (Thailand), Meganola albiscripta sp. nov. (N-Vietnam) and Meganola latiscripta sp. nov. (SVietnam).
Meganola is a large and morphologically rather diverse genus, which is widely distributed on all continents, although it proved to be the most species rich in the mountains of Southeast Asia. In this article, the new species Meganola tibetensis was collected at Tibet and reminds externally Himalayan-Indochinese species Meganola mediofusca László, Ronkay & Witt, 2007. These two species have similar configuration of female genitalia concerning the spinulose signum, but their male genitalia are totally different. In male genitalia, harpe approximate trapezoid and aedeagus without cornuti in new species, while in M. mediofusca harpe claw-like and aedeagus armed with many spines. Adults and genitalia of both species are illustrated.
Five new species of the genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 (M. subascripta, M. nanlinga, M. cenwanga, M. wilbarka and M. daminga spp. n.) are described from China and the adjacent regions, including figures of the adults and genitalia.
