Patania is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Frederic Moore in 1888.
Patania was long considered a junior synonym of Syllepte, but in 2007 it was removed from this synonymy and reinstated as a valid genus. With this action, Patania became the senior synonym to the widely used genus name Pleuroptya, making the latter a junior subjective synonym. Since then, the genus underwent further taxonomic changes, such as the transfer of some species to the reinstated genus Nagiella.
