Tegmina short, wings absent. Abdomen depressed, parallel-sided laterally. — Type-species : Auchenomus birmanus BORMANS, 1888 (India, Burma, China: Yunnan) Solenosoma BURR, 1907 22 (21) Forceps shorter than abdomen. Tegmina and wings fully developed. Abdomen cylindrical, a little expanded medially. 23 (24) Apical part of paired external parameres deeply cleft, thus forming two smaller or bigger, equal or unequal lobes. — Type-species: Chelisoches ritsamoe BORMANS, 1884 Schizoproreus gen. n. 24 (23) Paired external paramere not cleft on apical part, original outer lobe forming a uniform and sistinct plate. — Type-species : Forficula simulons STAL, 1860. Species : abdominalis RAMAMURTHI, 1965 (India), chatterjeei KAPOOR, BHARADWAJ et BANERJE, 1971 (India), coalescens (BORELLI, 1927) (Philippine Islands, Sumatra), colorât us (BURR, 1906) (New Guinea), corporali BOESEMAN, 1954 (Sumatra), cunctator BURR, 1911 (India), duroides HEBARD, 1933 (Australia), fuscipennis (DE HAAN, 1842) (Sumatra, Philippine islands, Malaysia, Borneo, New Guinea), ho-sfieldi (KIRBY, 1891) (Java), inermis BEYBIENKO, 1959 (China), laetior (DOHRN, 1865) (Borneo, Celebes, New Guinea, Bismarck Islands, Solomon Islands), longiforceps RAMAMURTHI, 1962 (India), ludekingi (DOHRN, 1865) (Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Malay Peninsula, Philippine Islands), minor (CAUDELL, 1904) (Philippine Islands), ramamurthii KAPOOR, 1967 (India), simulons (STÁL, 1860) (Oriental Region and Japan), sobrinus (BORMANS, 1884) (Sumatra), tezpurensis (SRIVASTAVA, 1969) (India), torrevillasi SRIVASTAVA, 1976 (Philippine Islands), unidentatus BEY-BIENKO, 1970 (China), variopictus (BORMANS, 1900) (Sumatra, Malaysia), weissi (BURR, 1904) (Vietnam, Philippine Islands) Proreus BURR, 1907 Schizochelisoches gen. n. Head tumid, postfrontal and coronal sutures fairly distinct. Pronotum as broad as head, truncate anteriorly; posterior margin rounded posteriorly. Tegmina and wings well or fully developed. Legs rather short, femora not very stout; tibiae flattened, furrowed in apical half above; tarsi very short, pubescent, rather broad. Abdomen mora or less parallel-sided, lateral glandular folds distinct on tergites 3-4. Male forceps various; inner margins armed with larger tooth or teeth. Male genitalia characteristic; 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 formosanus BURR, 1912. Species : brevipennis (BORELLI, 1923) (Philippine Islands, Malaysia) comb, n., diodontus (RAMAMURTHI, 1967) (Bismarck Islands) comb, n., formosanus (BURR, 1912) (Taiwan) comb. n. Schizoproreus gen. n. Closely related to Proreus BURR, 1907 but apical part of paired external parameres deeply cleft, thus forming two smaller or larger, equal or unequal inner and outer lobes, similar to Schizodiplatys STEINMANN, 1974 or Schizochelisoches gen. n. species. Antennae slender, the foruth joint is ovate or cylindrical, and neither thickened nor clubbed. Male forceps comparatively short, generally depress ed and flattened, inner margins with smaller or larger tooth or teeth. Type-species : Chelisoches ritsemae BORMANS 1884.
