Micromedetera is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae from the Caribbean and Panama. The genus belongs to the "micro-dolichopodids", an informal group of genera from the New World which have a body length of 1 mm or less. The genus was originally assigned to the subfamily Medeterinae, but more recently its placement in the subfamily is considered uncertain.{{cite journal|last1=Runyon|first1=Justin B|last2=Robinson|first2=Harold|title=Hurleyella, a new genus of Nearctic Dolichopodidae (Diptera)|journal=Zootaxa|date=2010|volume=2400|pages=57–65|url=http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2010/f/zt02400p065.pdf|doi=10.11646/zootaxa.2400.1.6|accessdate=23 August 2016}}
