Taxonomy
''Zanclognatha'' was considered synonym of ''Polypogon (moth), Polypogon'' in 1989. It became its own genus in 1991, but then became a synonym of Polypogon again in 1996.Poole, R. W. (1996). ''Nomina Insecta Nearctica: A Checklist of the Insects of North America. Volume 3: Diptera, Lepidoptera, Siphonaptera''. E.I.S., Rockville, MD. 1143 pp. However, sources from 1998 and 2005 recommend keeping the two genera split.Nowacki, J. & Fibiger, M. (1998). "Noctuidae". pp. 251-93. ''In:'' Karsholt, O. and J. Razowski. ''The Lepidoptera of Europe: A Distributional Checklist''. 380 pp. Stenstrup: Apollo Books.Lafontaine, D. & Troubridge, J. (2005). "Taxonomic notes on North American Noctuidae 2: The Polypogon group of genera". It is not clear how many valid species are part of the genus; some species are likely made up of at least two valid species-level taxa that have yet to be officially split, and there are some familiar taxa that have not yet been described to science. Adult ''Zanclognatha'' species are often difficult to tell apart; wing patterns and Lepidoptera genitalia, genital morphology, two characters often used to distinguish moth species, are not necessarily useful for classifying them. The larvae are more distinctive and may be more helpful in future studies of the genus.Wagner, D. L. & McCabe, T. L. (2011)Species
