Taxonomy

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