Diagnosis

The two subgenera of Dilacreon are distinguished by the shape of the lateral margins of the frons and the presence (nominal subgenus) or absence (subgenus Eluzalmon Fennah) of a transverse veinlet from M to Cu1 near Cu fork. As the Australian species all belong in the nominal subgenus, distribution can also be used to differentiate them.
