Iconostigma gen.n., with included species tryphaenu sp.n. (typespecies) and morosa sp.n., is described from New Caledonia. A key to males of the world genera and a check‐list of the world species of Chlidanotini are provided. The relationship of the Chlidanotini to the Polyorthini and Hilarographini is discussed, with particular reference to Iconostigma . It is suggested that the hair‐pencils of the eighth abdominal segment, and the invaginations in the male valvae into which each hair‐pencil is inserted, are apomorphic characters which unite these three tribes. Panegyru Diakonoff is transferred to the Tortricini and Polemograptis flavicostana (Walsingham) is transferred to Panegyra , comb.n. Archimaga euplocamis Meyrick is synonymized with Metrernis ochrolina Meyrick, syn.n.
