'''''Iriania''''' is a genus of moths of the ermine moth family, ''Yponomeutidae''. The genus was erected in 1955 by Russian-Dutch entomologist Alexey Diakonoff, based on specimens collected during an expedition to Dutch New Guinea. Diakonoff wrote that the genus appeared superficially similar to members of the concealer moth family, ''Oecophoridae'', differing in the venation of the forewing, having a flattened, smooth head, and having short, diverging labial palpi.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Diakonoff |first=Alexey |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/210187 |title=Microlepidoptera of New Guinea : results of the third Archbold expedition : (American-Netherlands Indian expedition 1938-1939) : part V |last2=Diakonoff |first2=Alexey |date=1955 |publisher=North-Holland Publishing Company |location=Amsterdam}}</ref>
