nigroscriptus Tillyard, 1923[1]Micromus tasmaniae var.
manapouriensis Tillyard, 1923[1] Micromus bifasciatus, is a species of Australasian brown lacewing in the family Hemerobiidae that was first described by Robert John Tillyard in 1923.
[2][3] Micromus bifasciatus is a dark brown colour, with wing veins that are typically pink.
[4] The species can be differentiated from Micromus tasmaniae by the two brown transverse bands found on the species' anterior wings, compared to the spotted pattern found on Micromus tasmaniae.
[4] It has mostly been recorded on native forest, such as Prumnopitys taxifolia, Dacrydium cupressinum and Dacrycarpus dacrydioides, all varieties of tree which host scale insects or mealybugs, and is typically associated with Podocarpus trees.
