Zanclognatha is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. Zanclognatha was treated as a synonym of Polypogon by Poole (1989), then split from Polypogon by Fibiger & Hacker (1991), and reinstated as a valid genus by Poole in 1996. The recent European checklist by Nowacki & Fibiger (1998) treats both Zanclognatha and Polypogon as valid genera, and Lafontaine & Troubridge (2005) recommend retaining Zanclognatha as a separate genus.
