Neodermaptera is a suborder of earwigs in the order Dermaptera. There are about 14 families and more than 2,000 described species in Neodermaptera. [1][2][3]

The former suborders Forficulina, Hemimerina, and Arixeniina have been reduced in rank to family and placed into the new suborder Neodermaptera. Neodermaptera now contains all the extant species of Dermaptera, while the extinct species make up the suborders Archidermaptera and Eodermaptera.[1][3]

Families

These 14 families belong to the suborder Neodermaptera:

Anisolabididae
Apachyidae Verhoeff, 1902
Arixeniidae Jordan, 1909
Carcinophoridae Hincks, 1954
Chelisochidae Burr, 1907
Diplatyidae Verhoeff, 1902
Forficulidae Stephens, 1829
Haplodiplatyidae Engel, 2017
Hemimeridae Sharp, 1895
Karschiellidae Verhoeff, 1902
Labiduridae Verhoeff, 1902 (striped earwigs)
Labiidae Burr, 1909
Pygidicranidae Verhoeff, 1902
Spongiphoridae (little earwigs)
