10 (9) Abdomen strongly punctured or rugose. 11 (12) Abdomen strongly and closely punctured. Male forceps wide, strongly arcuate, inner margins without pair of teeth in median section, but apical pair appearing as an obtuse peg each (Fig. 6). Pygidium well developed, its medio-posterior section with a strongly elongate peg (highly resembling that of A. oxypyga BEY-BIENKO, but this latter species with two pairs of teeth on inner margin of forceps). — Distribution: Philippine Islands ancylura (DOHRN, 1865) 12 (11) Abdomen strongly punctured or rugose. 13 (14) Male forceps narrow, slender, median section of inner margins without a pair of teeth, apical pair well visible (Fig. 7). Angles of posterior margins of pygidimrr* with a minute tooth each, somewhat resembling that of type-species, but angles of wide and flat pygidium of this latter without toothlets. — Distribution : China (Yunnan) bispina BEY-BIENKO, 1959 14 (13) Male forceps wide, robust, thick; inner margins with two pairs of teeth each (Figs. 8, 10, 11, 13). 15 (16) Pronotum as wide as long, or slightly wider than long. Male forceps (Fig. 8) long, nearly parallel up to evenly incurving apices. Pygidium wdie, medio-posterior margin with reclinate, minute, hardly discernible tooth. Genitalia of holotype as in Fig. 9. — Distribution: North India, from Uttar Pradesh eastwards into Bhutan and Burma, and also in Viet-nam and Borneo coriacea (BORMANS, 1894) 16 (15) Pronotum considerably widened, visibly broader than long. Male forceps widest in basal third, then gradually and areuately narrowing. Median section of pygidium with an acute, reclinate, elongate tooth, thereby plate not triangular (Figs. 10— 11). 17 (18) Dorsal surface of elytra and abdomen finely granulöse, extremely dark, nearly black. Pronotum wide, as wide as head. Forceps dark, blackish brown, inner surface with teeth more adjacent to each other, thereby ultimate (apical) section of forceps longer (Fig. 10). Medio-posterior section of pygidium with a thin, aciculiform tooth. — Distribution: Himalayas, extending from the North Punjab and Kumaon, through Uttar Pradesh into Assam, Sikkim, Tibet, and Northern Burma. BURR (1910) also mentions a record from Mount Mulayit in Tenasserim, in Southern Burma, and from China înacropyga (WESTWOOD, 1835) 18 (17) Elytra and abdomen dorsally nearly smooth, pale brown, not granulöse. Pronotum visibly narrower than head. Forceps brown, teeth on inner surfaces more removed from each other, thereby ultimate (apical) third of forceps shorter (Fig. 11). Medioposterior section of pygidium with an elongate but obtuse tooth, not narrow and not aciculiform. — Distribution: North Viet-nam oxypyga BEY-BIENKO, 1970 Brindleiana gen. n. Head wide, convex, eyes protruding. Scapi rather long, longer than wide. Pronotum wide, wider than long, lateral margins weakly arcuate. Elytra shortened, rudimentary, lateral margins with a narrow, not lamelliform ledge-like but still clearly visible rim. Of Eulithinus and not Allodahlia type. Wing absent. Dedicated to ALAIN BRINDLE, Manchester, foremost research worker in the Dermaptera. Type-species : Brindleiana atlas sp. n.
