This earwig and the following will require a new genus 

 when further allied species are discovered. The slender 

 antennal segments, the narrow pronotura, and the broad elytra 

 betray affinity with Opisthocosmia, Dohrn, while the general 

 form of the forceps, dilated at the base and slender beyond, 

 with the presence of abdominal tubercles, however faint, 

 show intimate connexion with Forjicula, L. The second 

 tarsal segment is distinctly cordiform, and not cylindrical, 

 and is very minute, being no broader than the other segments.

This species differs so little from the last that it is with 

 hesitation that I give it specific rank ; but the general appear- 

 ance, with the considerably smaller size, darker and more 

 reddish colour, and the slightly different form of the forceps, 

 have led me to describe it as more than a mere variety.
