Nolidae overview

Hey Dana,

I am trying to add some info into leptree's Taxa Information under the Knowledge Project. Every time I have tried to Expand Form and add information into the Apomorphies and the Other Diagnostic Characters section, they get deleted when I click save. I have tried four or five times and it has not worked. Can you help me out here. The info I want to add is as follows:

Apomorphies:
1. Males possess an elongated retinaculum, similar to Artiidae.
2. Easily detached tegulae and patagia.
3. Male genitalic muscle M.4 is directed ventrally, not horizontally (Speidel & Naumann, 1995b).

Other Diagnostic Characters:
1. Most Nolidae have dorsally broadened postspiracular bar at the base of the abdomen.

Thanks for the help.
