(type species: Micronecta polhemusi Nieser, 2000 , by original designation).

Diagnosis

Males: pala with a secondary narrow claw, primary claw apically widened; prestrigilar flap on segment V with broadly rounded medial apex; strigil present; median lobe of sternite VII with angular or rounded apex, with two long and thick setae; free lobe of tergite VIII with a slightly produced lateral angle; shaft of left paramere long and narrow, tapering apically; right paramere slightly curved over most of its length, with narrowly rounded apex (adapted from Chen et al. 2015).

Remarks

Nieser et al. (2005) established the subgenus Unguinecta , and placed five species in it: M. polhemusi Nieser, 2000 , M. khasiensis Hutchinson, 1940 , M. matsumurai Miyamoto, 1965 , M. melanochroa Nieser, Chen & Yang, 2005 , and M. waltoniana Hutchinson, 1940 . Among these, M. khasiensis and M. waltoniana were transferred from the subgenus Mesonecta .
