The new material from the Himalayas, and in- vestigations on the holotype of N. (7".) emarginata, suggest that N. schwoerbeli Bader & Sepasgozarian, 1979, is a junior synonym to TV. ( T.) emarginata. Hence, the subgenus includes a single species N. ( Tadjikodartia) emarginata (Sokolow, 1948), which is widespread from the Iran and Tajikistan up to the In- dian Himalayas. Subgenus: DartomaYicis, 1929 Type: Dartia caendea Viets, 1929 Syn.: Dartoniella Lundh\2id, 1941 (K. Viets 1956b) Definition (adults) Characters of the genus Nilotonia and of the Dartia- like subgenera and: • With more than one strong terminal seta present on IV-L-6. • Without a gap between first and second pair of ace- tabula. • Typically with medial suture Cl/Cl of about the same length as genital flaps (but not so, and suture shorter, in the females of A^. D. perplexa). Species included The subgenus Dartonia is easily separated from the other subgenera as it shares several striking characters, such as (1) IV-L-6 terminally with more than one ro- bust seta, (2) either palpus with short and stocky seg-.

Four species from Asia are included in the subgenus in this st
