Wang, Shuxia, Zhu, Xiaoju, Zhao, Baixue & Yang, Xiaofei, 2020, Taxonomic review of the genus Meleonoma Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Autostichidae), with a checklist of all the described species, Zootaxa 4763 (3), pp. 371-393 : 376

( Figs 6 e−8e)

Diagnosis. Moths of the jigongshanica group share a uniform dark forewing ( Fig. 6e ). In the male genitalia ( Fig. 7e ), the uncus is sub-triangular, not elongated; the gnathos is absent; and the sacculus is separated from valva distally. In the female genitalia ( Fig. 8e ), the antrum and the ductus bursae are sclerotized, and the corpus bursae lacks a signum.

The jigongshanica group includes two known species.
