Dactyloceras
Mell, 1927

Members of this genus are found in Africa. There are probably eight to ten species. Help with checklists or any additional images or information would be greatly appreciated.

Dactyloceras nebulosa lacks the two fields of multiple, parallel, fine, dark fasciae on either side of the forewing medial zone. The parallel lines are also missing from the hindwings in nebulosa.

Little is know about larval hosts but Ceropegia in the Asclepiadaceae family (in the same order as the Oleaceae) is noted.
