Type species. Hemerobius priscus Weyenbergh, 1869 a, by original designation.

Diagnosis. Forewing elongate, broad proximally [strongly narrowed proximally in Liminympha Ren et Engel, 2007]; all distal veinlets of ScP once or twice forked [all veinlets of ScP simple in Mesonymphes Carpenter, 1929]; MP with four-five pectinate branches, each connected by one crossvein [crossveins absent between branches of MP in Liminympha]; CuP space broad, more than twice as wide as intracubital space [narrow, nearly as wide as intracubital space in Liminympha]. Hind wing MP with four-five pectinate branches [eight branches in Sialium Westwood, 1854]; at least proximal branches of CuA connected by crossveins [not connected in Mesonymphes]; CuP short, not pectinately branched. Legs (at least hind) with tibial spurs.

Composition. Two species from the Jurassic of Eurasia: Nymphites bimaculatus sp. nov. from the Middle Jurassic of China, and Nymphites priscus (Weyenbergh, 1869) from the Late Jurassic of Germany.
