	Distribution of Nusalala

Nusalala is a genus of brown lacewings. The scientific name was published in 1913 by Longinos Navás.^[1] They belong to the subfamily Microminae, as well as the genera Micromus and Megalomina.^[2]
Some species of this genus, such as Nusalala brachyptera , are "brachypter" meaning short wings,^[3] and have lost the ability to fly; they can only jump. This phenomenon has evolved in a number of genera in the family Hemerobiidae^[4]

This genus have an exclusive neotropical distribution (South America, Central America and the Caribbean).^[5] As well, the distribution is limited in the South Cone and steppes, where its humidity and temperature conditions may not be enough, and in rain forests, despite their tropical nature.^[5]
