Meleonoma is a genus of moths in the family Autostichidae.
Taxonomic history & placement
Meleonoma was established by Edward Meyrick in 1914,[2] who placed the genus in the family Oecophoridae. Subsequently, Clarke (1965)[3] listed the genus in the family Cosmopterigidae. Park & Park (2016)[4] attributed the genus to Lypusidae sensu Lvovsky (2015), although shortly after, Yin & Wang (2016a[5] & 2016b[6]) placed the genus as incertae sedis within Gelechioidea and then in Oecophoridae, followed by Kitajima & Salamaki (2019)[7] 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)[8] 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)[9] described two new species from Guangxi and Fujian provinces, China; Wang et al. (2020)[10] 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)[11] described 16 new species from Hainan Island, China; Yin et al. (2020)[12] described three new species from Yunnan province, China; lastly, Wang & Zhu (2020a[13] & 2020b[14]) described a further 36 species from China.
