Docalidia aculeata Nielson is fixed as the correct spelling for this species name, erroneously spelled as Docalida acus in the abstract and figure legend of the original publication. Docalidia acus is declared a nomen nudum. An updated, synoptic catalogue of all names applicable to Docalidia is given in alphabetical order with new annotations with distribution. A revised key to 174 of 178 known species is also provided.
