The Gratidiini are a tribe of stick insects based on the type genus Clonaria (as an old synonym Gratidia Stål, 1875) and first used by Cliquennois in 2005. Genera are known to be distributed in: Africa, Europe, temperate and tropical Asia and various Pacific Islands.

This tribe was previously placed in the Pachymorphinae, but the current consensus (2022) is that it is better placed in the Bacilloidea: either in the family Bacillidae or a proposed new family "Gratidiidae".
