Some authors included Nelo Walker, 1854, as well as some other genera (Sangala Walker, 1854; Melanoptilon Herrich-Schäffer, 1855; and Nelopsis Warren, 1895) as junior synonyms of Drymoea Walker, 1854.[1]
Members of this genus are generally black with pectinate (comb-like) antennae.[6]
The range of Nelo includes Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru.
