Steinmann, H.: A new reclassification of the family Chelisochidae (Dermaptera)

External parameres of male genitalia widest distally. — Type-species : Tau­ropygia trident at a BRINDLE, 1970 (Solomon Islands) Tauropygia BRINDLE, 1970 11 (10) Tegmina longer, posterior margins not obliquely truncate; wings visible. Male for­ceps shaped otherwise. 12(13) Male forceps similar in shape and length to those of the female, those of the male with inner teeth; pygidium of both sexes excised on posterior margin, that of female nar­rower that that of male. External parameres of male genitalia widest medially. — Type-species : Gressitolabis delicatula BRINDLE, 1970. Species : delicatula BRINDLE, 1970 (Solomon Islands), gurneyi BRINDLE, 1972 (Solomon Islands) Gressitolabis BRINDLE, 1970 13 (12) Male and female forceps dissimilar in length and shape; pygidia with normal sexual­ly dimorphism. External parameres of male genitalia parallel-sided except at apices. — Type-species : Adiathelia lingua BRINDLE, 1970. Species: incisa BRINDLE, 1970 (Solomon Islands), lingua BRINDLE, 1970 (Solomon Islands), philippinensis SRIVASTAVA, 1976 (Philippine Islands: Mindanao), spinosa BRINDLE, 1970 (Solomon Islands) Adiathelia BRINDLE, 1970 14 (9) Tibiae sulcate or flattened at least in distal 1/4. 15 (16) Legs long and slender, the third reaching at least to the 7th abdominal segment or further. Antennae with about 20 joints; third joint equal in length to fourth and fifth united. Head tumid, postfrontal and coronal sutures distinct. — Type-species : Chelisoches pulchripennis BORMANS, 1883. Species : chinensis STEINMANN, 1974 (China), koorgensis HEBARD, 1923 (India, Malaysia), pulchripennis (BORMANS, 1883) (Burma, Vietnam, Sumatra, New Guinea) Exypnus BURR, 1907 16 (15) Legs short or moderately long. 17 (20) Antennae thicker, the fourth and fifth joints shorter than the third, often globular, all more or less thickened at apex; antennae generally 15-20 jointed. Head tumid, postfrontal and coronal sutures distinct. 18 (19) Apical part of paired external parameres deeply cleft, thus forming two big, sharply divided and equal or unequal lobes. Apical cleavage dividing external paramere into two (inner and outer) obtuse or pointed tusk-like teeth, of which inner one ending usually in sharply elongated tip. — Type-species : Chelisoches forinosantis BURR, 1912 Schizochelisocb.es gen. n. 19 (18) Paired external parameres not cleft on apical part, original outer lobe forming a uni­form and distinct tooth, its tip frequently elongated, original inner lobe strongly and generally unrecognizably reduced, and forming only the extremely variable dentation or tooth on inner margin of a uniform plate. — Type-species : Forficula morio FABRICIUS, 1775. Species : annulatus (BURR, 1906) (New Guinea), ater BORMANS, 1900 (North Australia), australicus (LE GUILLON, nec DUBRONY, 1897) (North Australia and New Guinea), calopteryx GÜNTHER, 1929 (New Guinea, Solomon Islands), clwesmanae HINCKS, 1952 (New Hebrides), chopardi HINCKS, 1953 (Madagascar), flavipennis (FABRICIUS, 1793, nec CHOPARD, 1951) (Senegal, Equatorial Guinea: Bioko, Cameroon, French Congo, Nigeria, Gabon, Congo Republic), handschini GÜNTHER, 1934 (North Australia), kimberleyensis MJ OBERG, 1913 (Australia), malgachus BORMANS, 1903 (Madagascar), morio (FABRICIUS, 1775) (Oriental
