Dictyonia can be recognized among the Elicini by the forewings covering the abdomen (vs. Danepteryx or Osbornia); wing nearly as wide as long and semicircular in shape, costal margin decidedly rounding; forewings tegmina partly opaque, usually with an oblique hyaline band across clavus and corium; forewings almost as broad as long (vs. semicircular in Dictyssa), held almost vertically, cells of corium exceptionally few and large and distinctly angular.
