Etymology The genus name Nososticta combines the Greek νόσος (nosos, "disease") with στικτός (stiktos, "spotted" or "marked"). The suffix -sticta is commonly used in names of taxa related to Protoneura and the subfamily Isostictinae.
The species name baroalba is named for Baroalba Creek in the Northern Territory, where the original specimens of this species were collected.
