IR coronal line emissions are reported in the novae V1819 Cyg and V827 Her; high-resolution near-IR spectra of coronal line emission in the nova QU Vul have also been obtained, increasing the number of known IR coronal line novae from two to four. Each of the four is found to be characterized by approximately the same Si VI/Si VII line-intensity ratio, which indicates a common coronal-zone electron temperature of 300,000 K. The coronal-line novae are noted to possess a remarkably similar near-IR spectrum, suggesting that their coronal line emission will only occasionally be observed at optical wavelengths.
