Taxonomy

The genus Micromidia was described by Fraser in 1959.[4] Its familial placement was later uncertain, and it was treated as unassigned within the superfamily Libelluloidea in some classifications.[5] Earlier authors placed the genus in several different families, including Austrocorduliidae, Synthemistidae and Corduliidae.[6] More recent classifications place Micromidia in the family Austrocorduliidae.[7]
