Labiduridae, whose members are known commonly as striped earwigs,[1] is a relatively large family of earwigs in the suborder Neodermaptera.[2]
Taxonomy
The family contains a total of approximately 72 species, spread across seven genera in three subfamilies.[3][4] Some well-known members of the family include Labidura riparia, commonly known as the tawny earwig, and Gonolabidura meteor. The family is mostly cosmopolitan, so it can be found around the world.[4] At least two species have been described from middle Cretaceous aged Burmese amber, Myrrholabia and Zigrasolabis.[5]
Description
The family's members are moderate to large earwigs, and are cylindrically shaped with well-developed wings. They have especially long antennae, while some segments can be shorter, and large cerci.[3][4]
