Sabatinca

Sabatinca is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae.[1][2] Palaeomicra and Micropardalis were both established as subgenera of Sabatinca, but were both raised to generic level by Joël Minet in 1985.[3] Extinct species are known from the Cretaceous Burmese amber.[4]
