2. Diagnosis

2.1. Original description

3. Further information

3.1. Synonyms

  • Nola candida Butler, 1879 [synonym according to funet.fi]
  • Roeselia fragilis Swinhoe, 1890 [synonym according to funet.fi]
  • Sorocostia mesozona Lucas, 1890 [synonym according to funet.fi]

3.2. Distribution

Nola taeniata was described from Celebes (now South Sulawesi, Indonesia). The species has been found from Australia to Japan and across South Korea, Taiwan, small parts of China, Thailand to Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan. A single information about a specimen in Gibraltar reported by Vives Moreno (2014: 805 [note 1160]) is completely surprising: “Esta especie fue capturada el 27 de septiembre de 1910, en Gibraltar (ZERNY, 1927), sin duda se trata de un ejemplar emigrante; no tenemos nuevos datos sobre esta especie. Podria tratarse de Nola afrotaeniata Hacker, 2012, recientemente descubierta.”. It is practically impossible that an animal of this species from the known distribution area of the Nola taeniata independently migrated to Gibraltar, and also the proposed solution that it may have been Nola afrotaeniata, which was first described from Ethiopia in 2012 is quite unlikely in terms of independent immigration, as this species only occurs in Africa from Ethiopia to the south. The report from Gibraltar cannot be used unless the collected (and still existing ?) specimen is checked again. But even if the specimen is really N. taeniata or N. afrotaeniata – definitely none of these species is part of the fauna of Europe.
