Catalectis is a small genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. It is a small and little-studied group, whose precise relationships remain to be discovered. C. pharetropa was once mistaken for a species of Clepticodes, and Oenoe drosoptila of the Meessiinae was also proposed as a species of Catalectis; ít may be that these are all, in fact, closely related.

Only three species are presently contained in this genus:

  • Catalectis flexa Bradley, 1957
  • Catalectis pharetropa Meyrick, 1920 (= C. clasmatica)
  • Catalectis ptilozona Meyrick, 1923
