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.

Anisolabidinae subfamily of insects

Anisolabidinae, alternatively known as Carcinophorinae, Gonolabiinae, Placolabidinae, or Titanolabiinae, is a subfamily of earwigs that contains approximately twenty-five genera. Its existence was cited by Srivastava in the book Fauna of India Pt. 2, by Chen & Ma in Fauna Sinica, and by Henrik Steinmann in The Animal Kingdom. Although Steinmann cited the subfamily's name as Carcinophorinae, this is a synonym for the taxon.
