''Meleonoma'' is a genus of moths in the family Autostichidae. Taxonomic history & placement ''Meleonoma'' was established by Edward Meyrick in 1914, who placed the genus in the family Oecophoridae. Subsequently, J. F. Gates Clarke, Clarke (1965) listed the genus in the family Cosmopterigidae. Park & Park (2016) attributed the genus to Lypusidae ''sensu'' Lvovsky (2015), although shortly after, Yin & Wang (2016a & 2016b) placed the genus as ''incertae sedis'' within Gelechioidea and then in Oecophoridae, followed by Kitajima & Salamaki (2019) when studying the Japanese species. Furthermore, Lvovsky (2015) synonymized the genus ''Acryptolechia'' (at that time placed in Cryptolechiinae of Depressariidae) with ''Meleonoma''. More recently, Wang & Li (2020) studied the molecular phylogeny of Gelechioidea, and found ''Meleonoma'' plus ''Phaulolechia'' formed a clade constituting the tribe Meleonomini, sister to ''Periacma'' + ''Irepacma'' + ''Epiracma'', constituting the Periacmini, b ...
