Microminae is a subfamily of neuropteran insects of the family Hemerobiidae.
Includes the genera Micromus (with global distribution), Nusalala (with Neotropical distribution), Noius[1] (New Caledonia), and Megalomina (Australia and New Guinea).[2]
The subfamily is characterized by a single unambiguous synapomorphy, male abdominal tergites 9 and 10 fused (49:1), and two homoplasious transformations (23:1 and 37:1).[3]
Recent studies place Drepanepteryginae as the sister subfamily of Microminae, with its last common ancestor estimated to have lived between 131-141 million years ago. The same study places the last common ancestor of all Microminae somewhere in between 112 and 118 million years ago.
