Some taxonomists include NOLIDAE and its subfamilies in NOCTUIDAE, as in the Checklist of Australian Lepidoptera, but here following the more recent book A Guide to Australian Moths we list it as a separate family.

There are approximately 170 named Australian species in NOLIDAE.
Here the illustrated species are listed in the six subfamilies and tribes:

CHLOEPHORINAE (excluding SARROTHRIPINI) 35 named species

ELIGMINAE 17 named species

NOLINAE 79 named species

RISOBINAE 1 named species

SARROTHRIPINI 32 named species
