Review of the genus Njalkanola László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010 (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Nolidae, Nolini) with description of six new species

... 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.

Apart from the aforementioned publications, a few but important contributions covering distribution and range extensions of some nolid species within India are Sevastopulo (1938Sevastopulo ( , 1956, Mandal & Maulik (1991), Francy & Mathew (2006), Mathew (2004), Mathew et al.

... The faunal study of the subfamily Nolinae Hampson, 1894 in the Oriental region was poorly studied during the past century, but considerable research has been made since the end of the 1990′s (Inoue 1998;Holloway 2003;László et al 2004László et al , 2005László et al , 2006László et al , 2007aLászló et al , 2007bLászló et al , 2010Kononenko and Pinratana 2013;László et al 2013aLászló et al , 2013bLászló et al , 2013cLászló et al , 2013dQi et al 2013a;László et al 2014aLászló et al , 2014bLászló et al , 2014cLászló et al , 2014dLászló et al , 2014e, 2015aLászló et al , 2015bLászló et al , 2015c termen relatively darker than ground color of forewing. Ground color of hindwing light brown and gradually darkened to margin, with a gray dot on discal cell. ...

So far no comprehensive work on the Nolidae of India has been published and the entire fauna of the Indian subcontinent is poorly studied. ...
