Zanclognatha is a genus of litter moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Julius Lederer in 1857.
==Taxonomy== Zanclognatha was considered synonym of Polypogon in 1989. It became its own genus in 1991, but then became a synonym of Polypogon again in 1996. However, sources from 1998 and 2005 recommend keeping the two genera split.
