Ctenisolabis montana is a species of earwig in the family Brachylabinae. It is found in the Orientalic, Palaearctic, and Afrotropic ecozones. [1]

Earwig order of insects

Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forceps-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings". Some groups are tiny parasites on mammals and lack the typical pincers. Earwigs are found on all continents except Antarctica.

Brachylabinae is a subfamily of earwigs, and contains three genera. Ctenisolabis and Metisolabis were cited by both Steinmann and Srivastava, while Brachylabis were cited by Steinmann, Srivastava, and Chen & Ma.

Maritime earwig species of insect

Anisolabis maritima, commonly known as the maritime earwig or the seaside earwig, is a species of earwig in the family Anisolabididae. Similar to the Seashore earwig, this species can be found near the shore line, and is cosmopolitan. It can be found in almost all ecozones. Scientists believe that these earwigs originally came from Asia. Since then, however, they have been introduced to North America, and have now spread around the world due to international commerce.
