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.
