Micronycterinae is a subfamily of leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae). They are commonly known as the little big-eared bats. It contains two genera, Lampronycteris (one species) and Micronycteris (eleven species).[1] Van Den Bussche (1992) was the first to propose the subfamily, which initially just contained Micronycteris.[2] Previous studies had sometimes included these genera in the subfamily Phyllostominae.[3]

It is one of the more basal subfamilies of the family Phyllostomidae. Of the eleven currently recognized subfamilies, only the Macrotinae lineage split before Micronycterinae.[2]
