Micropterigidae Phylogenetic Relationships
Micropterigoidea is the superfamily of "mandibulate archaic moths", all placed in the single family Micropterigidae, containing currently about twenty living genera. They are considered the most primitive extant lineage of lepidoptera (Kristensen, 1999). The name comes from the Greek for ''mikros'', little and ''pterux'', a wing. The fossil record of the group goes back to the middle-late Jurassic with the earliest known species being '' Auliepterix'' from the Karabastau Formation in Kazakhstan.

Micropterix Aureoviridella
''Micropterix aureoviridella'' is a moth of the family Micropterigidae found in Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland. It was first described by Gabriel Höfner in 1898. The wingspan is about . Adults are on wing from the end of May to July. It prefers open and dry habitats on southerly facing slopes, margins of light spruce forest with interspersed rocks, margins of forest and scrubs in mountainous areas, as well as in elfin woodland. It has also been found in sub-alpine dwarf scrub. The adults feed on some shrubs, including ''Pinus mugo ''Pinus mugo'', known as bog pine, creeping pine, dwarf mountain pine, mugo pine, mountain pine, scrub mountain pine, or Swiss mountain pine, is a species of conifer, native to high elevation habitats from southwestern to Central Europe and Sou ...''.

Palaeomicra
''Sabatinca'' is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae. '' Palaeomicra'' and '' Micropardalis'' were both established as subgenera of ''Sabatinca'', but were both raised to generic level by Joël Minet in 1985. However, in 2014 both these genera, '' Palaeomicra'' and '' Micropardalis,'' were recognised by George Gibbs as synonyms of ''Sabatinca.'' Extinct species in this genus are known from the Cretaceous Burmese amber.
