Idioglossa is a genus of moths of the family Epimarptidae, it was previously part of Batrachedridae or others (see below).

==Taxonomy== The genus was created by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham in 1881 to house the new species Idioglossa bigemma. As Lord Walsingham created it under a then monotypic genus, the species I. bigemma is considered the type species by monotypy. The next year (1882), Lord Walsingham proposed to rename the taxon as Idiostoma, as he considered his previous name inappropriate, but by the rules of nomenclature this later suggested amendment is unnecessary.
