Microweiseinae is a quite recently established subfamily within ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae). According to recent analyses of morphological and molecular data, it has been divided into three tribes. Members of the subfamily are distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite several recent taxonomical studies of this group, its diversity and distribution is still not fully understood. Recent field collecting on Madeira Island resulted in the discovery of interesting specimens belonging to a yet unknown taxon, described here as Phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters indicate that the new taxon form a distinct branch within the subfamily Microweiseinae, for which we propose a new tribe Madeirodulini Evolutionary trends within the subfamily are discussed, and an updated key to the tribes of Microweiseinae is provided.
微韦叶甲亚科是瓢虫科（叶甲科）中一个最近才确立的亚科。根据最近对形态学和分子数据的分析，它已被分为三个族。该亚科的成员大多分布在世界热带和亚热带地区。尽管最近对该类群进行了多项分类学研究，但其多样性和分布仍未得到充分了解。最近在马德拉岛的野外采集发现了属于一个未知分类单元的有趣标本，在此描述为……形态特征的系统发育分析表明，新分类单元在微韦叶甲亚科内形成一个独特的分支，为此我们提出一个新族——马德拉韦叶甲族。讨论了该亚科内的进化趋势，并提供了微韦叶甲亚科各族的最新检索表。
