Zizyphia is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea. It was long placed in the family Gelechiidae, but actually seems to belong in the Oecophoridae.
Resembling Orophia in some aspects, it would warrant inclusion in the tribe Orophinii. These are today usually placed in subfamily Oecophorinae, but formerly were often assigned to the Depressariinae.
