Diagnosis. Distoleon is readily separated from the other genera of Nemoleontini by the presence of only one presectoral crossvein in hind wing, with forks of CuA divergent and CuP+1A not parallel to the anterior but to the posterior branch of CuA only and that even for a short distance in forewing. The femoral sensory hair is longer than the femur, and the tibial spurs that are always curved and longer than first two tarsal segments taken together ( Stange 2004; Kaur et al. 2019).
