Sabatinca
Genus of moths in family Micropterigidae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabatinca is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae.[1][2][3] Palaeomicra and Micropardalis were both established as subgenera of Sabatinca, but were both raised to generic level by Joël Minet in 1985.[4] However, in 2014 both these genera, Palaeomicra and Micropardalis, were recognised by George Gibbs as synonyms of Sabatinca.[1] Extinct species in this genus are known from the Cretaceous Burmese amber.[5]
