DiagnosisDiagnosis [nobbi]: Dorsal and lateral scales homogeneous or subequal; less than 20 dorsal scale rows counted at the level of the axilla, between and including the outer enlarged dorsal scale rows; dorsal scale rows more or less parallel; outer enlarged dorsal scale rows form uninterrupted series [from WITTEN 1972]. 
CommentSynonymy: partly after Shea and Sadlier (1999). EDWARDS & MELVILLE 2011 suggested to synonymize D. n. coggeri with nobbi. 
EtymologyNamed after the common name of "nobby" applied to the species in the Stanthorpe-Wallangarra area of southern Queensland.

D. n. coggeri was named for H. G. Cogger, who has assisted the author in this study and who, with R. D. Mackay, collected the type specimen.
