Genus Smicromyrme Thomson, 1870

Scutellar scale present but never acute, normally transverse, broader than long. MALE. Felt-line present both on T2 and S2. Mesosoma with no significant white pubescence over pronotum (if present, pubescence is sparse, not forming dense band). T2 integument all black. Segment of subcosta between basal vein and pterostigma 0.7–1.1 × pterostigma length. Wings sub-hyaline to moderately infuscate; see also Lelej & Williams 2023.
Distribution and diversity. The genus Smicromyrme presently includes 273 species distributed over the Afrotropical, Palaearctic and Oriental regions; at least 90 species are found around the Mediterranean, of which ca. 45 in Europe; in the Iberian Peninsula 13 species are presently known, six of them only from the male sex and one only from the female sex. Five subgenera are currently recognized for Palaearctic species: Astomyrme Schwartz, 1984, Eremotilla Lelej, 1985, Erimyrme Lelej, 1985, Rhombotilla Nagy, 1966, and Smicromyrme s.s. (e.g. Pagliano & Strumia 2019; Pagliano et al. 2020; Schmid-Egger & Schmidt 2021; Lelej & Williams 2023; Terine & Kumar 2023; this paper).
