"The genus Nicoletia Gervais is restricted to the type, phytophila Gervais, a tropical and subtropical species also found in European greenhouses. A new genus, Coletinia (type: Nicoletia maggii Grassi) is proposed for the European species formerly placed in Nicoletia. Coletinia capolongoi (Spain), mendesi (Portugal) and setosula (Sicily) are described as new; the first is a troglobiont. Coletinia maggii (Grassi), new combination (Italy and Jugoslavia), and C. subterranea (Silvestri) new combination (Italy), are redescribed. The highly asymmetrical structure of the antennae of the male of subterranea is confirmed. Nicoletia bulgarica Kozaroff (Bulgaria), N. corsica Chopard (Corsica), and N. jeanneli Silvestri (France) are transferred to Coletinia. Lepidospora escherichi Silvestri (Ionian and Aegean seas) is redescribed, and Nicoletia grassii Escherich (Sicily) is transferred to Lepidospora. Keys are given to the genera of the Nicoletiinae of the world and of Europe and to the species of Coletinia"--P. [1].
