See text Dunama is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae described by William Schaus in 1912.

Schaus established the genus Dunama in 1912 for a group of small, relatively drab, mottled and tree-bark patterned, brown notodontid moths with a black orbicular spot.

Edward L. Todd revised the genus whose distribution extends from Mexico to Amazonian Brazil in 1976.

The genus traditionally has been placed in the Nystaleinae, but that placement remains provisional because species of Dunama lack the characteristic morphological traits of most nystaleines.

Additionally, all known caterpillars of Dunama feed on monocots (Musaceae, Marantaceae, Heliconiaceae, Arecaceae), a trait rarely encountered in the Notodontidae.
