Lola Kratochvíl, 1937 is a monotypic genus of Phalangodidae. Lola insularis Kratochvíl, 1937 is an obligate cave dweller, endemic from Island Hvar in Croatia. A redescription of the species was made by Ubick & Ozimec (2005) [1].


Etymology[]

Lola was the wife of Josef Kratochvíl, who accompanied him in the expedition which got the type material. Gender feminine.


Placement[]

Lola originally in Phalangodidae Phalangodinae, later made the type genus of the subfamily Lolinae (Kratochvíl 1958). There was no formal synonymy of Lolinae, but this name started to fall in disuse, e.g, in Martens (1972; 1978). The last use of this name was in Staręga (1976).
