Micraglossa nana is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Wei-Chun Li, Hou-Hun Li and Matthias Nuss in 2010.^[1] It is found in China (Guizhou, Zhejiang, Guangxi) and Vietnam.

The length of the forewings is 5–6 mm for males and females. The ground colour of the forewings is glossy silver, but black along the costa. There are two black spots on the basal area and the antemedian and postmedian line are yellowish white. The subterminal line is pale yellow and is connected with the postmedian line, together forming an X shape.

Etymology[]

The species name is derived from the Chinese word nan (meaning south) and refers to the distribution in the southern provinces of China.^[2]
