Vietnamellidae is a family of ephemerelloid mayflies. It contains a single extant genus, Vietnamella, with several species native to India, Southeast Asia, and China. A fossil genus Burmella is known from the Burmese amber of Myanmar, dating to the mid-Cretaceous around 100 million years ago.[1][2]
