Meleonoma
Introduction '''''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, 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, bringing both tribes together to form the subfamily Periacminae, in Autostichidae.Most recently, there has been a flurry of publications on the genus:Yin & Cai (2019) described two new species from Guangxi and Fujian provinces, China; Wang et al. (2020) reviewed the genus, retained the placement in Meleonomini (Autostichidae, Periacminae) and provided a global checklist, including transferring 50 species from the moth genus ''Cryptolechia'';Zhu et al. (2020) described 16 new species from Hainan Island, China; Yin et al. (2020) described three new species from Yunnan province, China; lastly, Wang & Zhu (2020a & 2020b) described a further 36 species from China.
