Abstract. This paper presents a description of the worldwide Dermaptera collection of the Manchester
Museum, UK. In total, the collection contains over 16,700 specimens and represents 835 species and
subspecies (approximately 44% of the Dermaptera world fauna). The composition of the collection is
described and a brief account is given of its history and those instrumental in its development, notably
W.D. Hincks (1906-1961) and A. Brindle (1915-2001). Correspondence held at the museum relating
to their work on Dermaptera is listed and examples relating to Labidura herculeana (Fabricius, 1798)
and some of the parasitic earwigs in the collection are explored. Finally, a complete type catalogue of
the Manchester Museum’s Dermaptera is presented; it is arranged alphabetically by species name as
originally described, with photographs of all holotypes and their corresponding data labels. The collection
contains 40 holotypes and 694 secondary types (allotypes, syntypes or paratypes), representing 283
species and subspecies, an estimated 15% of the Dermaptera world fauna.

Introduction
The collections of arthropods at the Manchester Museum (MMUE) are among the top three in the UK,
containing more than three million specimens, including about two and a half million insects (Logunov
& Merriman 2012; Logunov 2010a). The worldwide Dermaptera collection is one of the particular
strengths of the Entomology Department and it is probably among the most comprehensive in the world
(Logunov 2010b), containing almost a half of the species described worldwide (see Table 1).
During the review of the collection, an updated count was made of all its constituent parts (Table 1).
The total of over 16,700 specimens is approximately 5,000 more than previously thought (Logunov &
Merriman 2012). In the process, accession numbers have been added to all individual dried, mounted
primary and secondary type specimens and to all vials of spirit specimens.
The aims of this paper are (1) to briefly describe the composition of the Museum’s Dermaptera collection
and its history and (2) to provide a complete catalogue of its type material. The Manchester collections
are searchable online at http://www.museum.manchester.ac.uk : however, the Dermaptera collection is
not yet completely databased on the Museum’s collection management system to species level and this
significant resource is currently very little used. It is hoped that the publication of this paper with a
complete type catalogue will encourage and facilitate the use of this important, but underpublicized and
underused collection.
Description of the Dermaptera collection
The collection comprises over 16,700 specimens organised in five divisions:
1. Approximately 10,800 worldwide specimens (accession no. L3233) are dry mounted, housed in three
Watkins and Doncaster wooden cabinets, each with 20 glass-lidded drawers (Tig. 1). The specimens
are pinned or mounted on card and arranged taxonomically. Table 1 gives the numerical composition
of the collection and Tig. 2 gives the percentage of World Dermaptera represented at the Manchester
Museum, by family. Three drawers (approx. 1300 specimens) contain undetermined material, partially
sorted according to the zoogeographical regions. Table 2 shows the geographical distribution of the
undetermined material.
2. The British earwig collection is kept separate from the foreign insects and is housed in one drawer of
a Hill unit (Tig. 3). The four native species are represented, as well as Euborellia annulipes (Lucas,
1847) and Marava arachidis (Yersin, 1860), with 250 specimens in total (Table 3). In addition, there
is one specimen of Labidura riparia (Pallas, 1773) from Prance in this collection.
3. There are around 2000 undetermined specimens of papered material. 1600 are Indian Dermaptera
(accession no. P3254) collected between 1953 and 1972 (Pig. 4). They were supplied by the well-
known Indian entomologist and natural history dealer P. Susai Nathan (1891-1976) of Kurumbagaram
(the ‘P’ is the initial of his father’s name, Prabala Nathan; M.A.N. Jayapaul pers. comm., 2015).
hollowing his retirement in 1969, his daughter-in-law Theresa Rajabi Susai Nathan took over the
dealership (see comments in the text under ‘Alan Brindle’). 185 specimens (accession no. L3241)
are from South America, collected by Czeslaw M. Biezanko (1895-1986), a Polish entomologist and
recognized authority on South American butterflies. A further 200 specimens are from northern India
collected between 1953 and 1956. The collector is identified only as ‘P.S’.
4. The spirit collection contains approximately 3500 Dermaptera specimens stored in 70% industrial
methylated spirit in glass tubes with polythene caps. The tubes are stored upright in plastic boxes
lined with foam plastic. While completing this project, the opportunity was taken to re-curate the
spirit collection by topping up where necessary, restoring specimens which had completely dried

out, and adding accession numbers to all vials. There are two species in the spirit collection not
represented in the dry collection. One is Hemimerus hanseni Sharp, 1895. The other is a species for
which the author was unable to find reference to a published description, Pericomus nigra, identified
by Brindle in 1980. The specimens of this species were part of around 5000 collected by Dr. Henk
Wolda in Panama (see below in the type catalogue). Wolda was an entomologist and staff member at
the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. There is no reference to this species in Brindle’s notes
from his analysis of the material (MMUE, Brindle archive, items 129, 138), from which he did,
however, describe Pericomus ater as a new species.
5. 108 specimens of earwigs imported in foodstuffs or plant material form part of a reference collection
(accession number F3231) initiated by W.D. Hincks (see section ‘Walter Douglas Hincks’ below).
Five species in 4 genera are represented and include 89 specimens from East Africa, 14 from West
Africa and 2 from Saudi Arabia, almost all found in imported bark or logs.
In summary, 835 species and subspecies are represented in the entire collection, approximately 44% of
the Dermaptera world fauna. The number of species is comparable to those held at the British Natural
History Museum (BMNH; now Natural History Museum), London (855 species). The number of
specimens at MMUE is 75% that of BMNH, which holds 450 primary and 1200 secondary Dermaptera
types (Natural History Museum 2015b). A complete type catalogue of Dermaptera at MMUE is provided
below.
Development of the Dermaptera collection
Two curators of the Manchester Museum Entomology Department, Walter Douglas Hincks (1906-1961)
and Alan Brindle (1915-2001), were chiefly responsible for developing the extent and geographical scope
of the collection as it is today, both being the world authorities on the order in their time. Hincks was

Assistant Keeper of Entomology at Manchester Museum from 1947 to 1961 (the title changed to Keeper
in the 1950s) and Brindle was the Keeper of Entomology from 1961 to 1982.
The Museum was founded by the Manchester Society for the Promotion of Natural History in 1821. A
history of the development of the museum is provided by Alberti (2009). An outline of the establishment
of the Entomology Department is given by Johnson (1996) and Logunov (2010a), who pinpoint the
department’s beginnings to the promotion of John R. Hardy (1844-1921) to Senior Assistant Keeper
and Curator of Entomology in January 1908. Prior to this, the insect collections inherited from the

them again from scratch (Report 1890-94).
In 1951 Hinclcs wrote:
“... it has been stated of various orders or groups of insects that they are ‘neglected’. To none is the
epithet more truly applicable than to the order Dermaptera or Earwigs, the serious students of which, at
any one time, could be counted on the fingers of one hancT (Hincks 1951a: 1).

It is not surprising then that from the first entry in the Entomology Department’s Accession Register
(Volume ‘F’) in 1889 by Hardy until the 1950s, with one exception, there is no specific mention of
Dermaptera acquisitions in the Museum’s Annual Reports or in the Accession Register. The exception is
three specimens of the parasitic Hemimerus talpoides Walker, 1871 from the Gold Coast, West Africa,
donated by Prof Hickson in 1919 (accession no. FI809; see Parasitic Earwigs below). That is not to
say earwigs were not acquired. In the early part of the century it is likely they were included in the
unspecified ‘Insects’ and possibly ‘Orthoptera’ received from around the world, and certainly from the
time of Hincks in the late 40s onwards, Dermaptera started to flood into the Department. The acquisitions
were not, however, entered into the Accession Register as a matter of routine.
Much research would be necessary to identify the sometimes tortuous routes by which many of the
early specimens came into the collection; as described below, many were acquired through exchange,
particularly by Hincks and Brindle. The earliest dated specimen in the Dermaptera collection is an
Apachyus chartaceus (Haan, 1842) dated 1878 (Fig. 5). It was collected during a Dutch scientific
expedition to Sumatra 1877-1879 under the supervision of the President of the Royal Dutch Geographical
Society, Prof. P.J. Veth (Wentholt & Wilschut 2003). Dermaptera material from the expedition was
sent to Auguste de Bormans of Belgium for identification (Veth 1892), considered ‘the only and final

authority’ on Dermaptera at the time (Burr 1901: 85). De Bormans’ collection was acquired by Malcolm
Burr (see below) and later sold to BMNH in the early 1900s (letter from Burr to Hincks, MMUE, Hincks
archive, item 54; Natural History Museum 2015a).
Other specimens dating from the end of the 19th century were collected by Leonardo Fea (1852-1903)
in Burma (now Myanmar), and by Hans Friihstorfer (1866-1922) in Java in 1893 and Lombok, Lesser
Sunda Islands in 1896. Fea was an Italian zoologist who worked at the Genoa Natural History Museum
and made several foreign trips to collect specimens, exploring extensively in Burma in the late 1880s
(Gorman 1892). Friihstorfer was described as “...a purely entomological and systematic genius, the
like of which we have never met before and are not likely to meet again ’ (Martin 1922: 97). In Lombok
he met and worked with William Doherty (1857-1901), “ Prince of collectors ” (Martin 1922: 99), who
collected MMUE’s specimen of Cordax armatus (de Haan, 1842) in Macassar, Indonesia in 1896.
In 1919, Harry Britten (1870-1954) was appointed as Hardy’s successor as Assistant Keeper at
Manchester Museum. According to Hincks, Britten was “the greatest British entomologist since the
days of Curtis and Stephens ” (Hincks 1954a: 225). He particularly added to the extent of almost all
orders of British insects in the collection and improved their arrangement (Report 1923-24). He and
Hincks each provided 50-60 British earwig specimens and between them collected almost 50% of
the specimens in the British collection. Britten’s specimens are almost entirely from Lancashire and
Cheshire, collected between 1919 and 1948, overlapping Hincks’ which date from 1932 to 1951. The
earliest dated specimens are Forficula auricularia Linnaeus, 1758 collected in 1892 in the Fame Islands,
the label only identifying the collector as ‘Bateson’. The most recent specimen (also F. auricularia ) was
collected in 2013 at Manchester University by the current Curator of Arthropods, Dmitri Logunov.
There is little information about the contribution to the Dermaptera collection of Geoffrey Kerri eh (1909—
2003), who followed Britten as Assistant Keeper in 1937. He was seconded away from the museum to
other duties a year after the start of the war and only returned half-time in 1943. His particular interest
was parasitoid Hymenoptera (Noyes 2003). The Annual Report of 1940—41 notes that he began to build
up “... a collection of immature forms in fluid preservative ... ”, although it is not specified whether this
included any earwigs (Report 1940-41: 7).

Walter Douglas Hincks (1906-1961)
The development of the Dermaptera collection really took off when Hincks (Fig. 6) was appointed
Assistant Keeper in August 1947. When he took over, “ with the aid of his assistant Stanley Shaw, and
later Alan Brindle, the rearrangement and combination of these collections was commenced with the
object of making the Museum s Entomology Department the finest reference and study centre in the
North ’ (Kloet 1961: 183). Hincks developed his interest in entomology as a member of the Leeds
Naturalists’ Club while studying to qualify as a pharmacist (Thimann 1961). He went on to work for a
large firm of manufacturing chemists. Kloet (1961) describes how Hincks developed his expertise first as

a world authority on Passalidae, with his friend John Dibb, and then extended his studies to Orthoptera,
Chironomidae, Diptera, Cassidinae and parasitic Hymenoptera. At the same time he built up a large
private collection and during his life played a most important role in the organisations devoted to
the promotion of Entomological knowledge ” (Kloet 1961: 182). He is well known for the comprehensive
24-volume Check List of British Insects compiled in collaboration with Kloet, published in 1945
(Kitchen 1962). This publication formed the structure for the future layout of the British collections at
the Manchester Museum (Johnson 1996).

Hincks began to focus on the study of Dermaptera in the early 1930s and was encouraged and supported
by Dr. Malcolm Burr (1878-1954), a pioneer in the field who was originally a specialist in European
Orthoptera but became an accepted authority on Dermaptera (Hincks 1954d). Burr trained as a geologist,
but was also a journalist, author and in his later years, an English professor at Istanbul University
(Harvey et al. 1996). The two men kept up a sustained correspondence. 34 letters from the period
January 1933 to October 1951 are held in the Museum’s entomological archive. In January 1933, Burr
wrote, “/ am so delighted that some one [sic], esp. an Englishman, has come forward to carry on the
work [on Dermaptera] where I gave up ” (MMUE, Hincks archive, item 52) and writing to Hincks from
Istanbul in 1950, Burr wrote, “I should like to see you chuck the beetles and go all out on earwigs ”
(MMUE, Hincks archive, item 42). Hincks did make earwigs one of his special areas of study, becoming
a major contributor to the development of the taxonomy of the order. Kloet said of him :
he realised that here lay the greatest scope for research and a task that would test to the utmost his
skill as a systematist and taxonomist and exercise his talent for the investigation of nomenclature and
synonymy. It is rare, indeed, to find a man capable of all these approaches, yet Hincks was undoubtedly
master of them alF (Kloet 1961: 182).
One of the reasons Hincks gave for the lack of progress with Dermaptera taxonomy was that, until Burr,
no-one had enough material to develop a sound classification of the order (Hincks 1951a). In February
1933, Burr exhorted Hincks, “... the chief thing is to get a representative set of as many genera as poss.
You will find my coll, in the B.M. the completest in existence stilF (MMUE, Hincks archive, item 54).
This was backed up by James Rehn (1881-1965), Acting Curator at the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia, who wrote on 3 Mar. 1933:
“It may be possible for me in the not distant future to send material of a few species of earwigs which
are included in our duplicate series, but my experience has been much the same as Dr. Burr S, in that
earwigs rarely come to the student in sufficient series to more than supply his working representation ”
(MMUE, Hincks archive, item 56).
Hincks therefore worked assiduously to build up a comprehensive earwig collection and achieved this
by several means. To widen the geographic range of the collection, he requested or encouraged others to
request collectors to provide specimens from particular areas, and at the same time arranged the purchase
of specimens directly from collectors. Correspondence in the Hincks archive, retained at the Manchester
Museum, evidences his network of contacts with those at the forefront in the study of Dermaptera such
as Friedrich Zacher (1884-1961), J.A. Rehn, Alfredo Borelli (1858-1943), Carlo Menozzi (1892-1943)
(Gilbert 1977) and Grigory Bey-Bienlco (1903-1971) (Rentz 2014; MMUE, Hincks archive, items 48,
72, 56, 58, 85, 90, 387). Appendix I provides a list of Hincks’ correspondence specifically relating to
Dermaptera. In 1938 he advertised in the publication Insektenborse to buy Dermaptera material. This
resulted in the purchase of 370 earwigs from Java (supplied by H. Lucht and M.E. Walsh) and 270-80
from Paraguay (supplied by F.H. Schade) (MMUE, Hincks archive, items 45-7, 104-6, 124).
From all this material, he determined and described new species and this taxonomic work led to
scholarly publications. His philosophy was that the department “... should carry out taxonomic and
biogeographical research at the international level, based upon the collections of overseas museums
as well as its own ” (Johnson 1996: 205). In his first busy year as Assistant Keeper, the Annual Report
records that in addition to all his other curatorial duties, “A monograph of the Earwigs of the world has
been initiated and materials accumulated for the purpose .” (Report 1947—48: 11).
Part I of his Systematic Monograph of the Dermaptera of the World based on material at BMNH was
published in 1955 and the second (and last) of the intended six volumes was published in 1959. Fig. 7
shows an example of Hincks’ original monograph illustrations and Fig. 8 shows a page from his
10
MILES C., Dermaptera of the Manchester Museum
‘Typomap of Africa’. His contribution to the London Royal Entomological Society’s Handbooks for the
identification of British insects on Dermaptera and Orthoptera was published in 1956. By the time of his
death, he had published more than three hundred papers and notes in international, national and regional
journals (Johnson 1996), including more than 70 on Dermaptera.
Hincks’ expertise led to increased requests for identification of material from Public Health Departments,
amateur naturalists and other inquirers and, particularly, to specialised identification work for various
British and overseas museums and institutions. The accepted custom of retaining part of the material
for the Museum led to a rapid increase in the size and scope of the collection (Reports 1953-58). Some
enquiries arose from the accidental importation and discovery of insects in timber and foodstuffs, and
were numerous enough that Hincks saw the need to create a reference collection of such insects. This

developed from its inception in 1951 (Report 1950-51) to contain 463 identified insects in 7 orders in
2010 (Logunov 2010a); however, virtually all the Dermaptera material in this collection was collected
between 1948 and 1955 and arranged by Hincks (See ‘Description of the Dermaptera collection’ above).
In addition, material was collected on the many field trips, surveys and courses directed by or attended
by Hincks, Shaw, and later, Brindle, both in Britain and abroad, although there is a comment in the
Annual Report for 1956-57 (p. 10) that collecting and other field activities have been purposely
curtailed this year because of the vast number of unidentified specimens which have accumulated in the
department ”. Fig. 9 shows Hincks and Brindle during one of the Insect Surveys at Freshfield, Lancashire.
Six specimens in the British earwig collection resulted from these surveys. Shaw left the department
in May 1956 and Alan Brindle, “ an entomologist of considerable experience” , joined Hincks as his
assistant in 1958 (Report 1958-9: 8).
By the time of his death in 1961, Hincks had become a world authority on Dermaptera, Passalidae and
Chrysomelidae and improved the Manchester collection such that it was “... now the most important
collection in the country after the British Museum and the Hope Department, Oxford, its types and
figured specimens running into many thousands ” (Report 1960-61: 1). Hincks’ personal collection
of World Dermaptera was purchased by the Museum in 1961 (accession no. F2440) along with his
Passalidae and Chrysomelidae collections. The Dermaptera collection was second only to the British
Museum collections and at that time included some 200 ‘ types and paratypes\ i.e., 27% of the type
material held now. It was housed in twenty cabinet drawers “ already arranged ’, the collections being
“... beautifully documented and of great importance for study ” (Report 1961-2: 14, 8, 2).

Alan Brindle (1915-2001)
Following Hincks’ death, Alan Brindle (Fig. 10) was promoted to Keeper of Entomology, a post he held
until his retirement in 1982. He had started work in a I an cas h ir e woollen mill and at the same t im e
attended night school to learn German, French and Russian. During the war he worked in intelligence
in Pakistan and Bangladesh and after the war taught secondary biology. He developed an interest in
Fepidoptera in his teens, collecting around Pendle Hill, and also took the opportunity to collect snake
skins, butterflies and other insects during his war postings (Johnson 2003). He was elected Fellow of
the Royal Entomological Society in 1941 and awarded an MSc by the University of Manchester for his
work on caddisfly biology in 1968 (Report 2000-01).

According to Johnson (1996), Brindle subscribed to Hincks’ philosophy that entomologists should
become taxonomic specialists in an order or family, within the international scientific community. After
Hincks’ death, Brindle took up and continued Hincks’ work on Dermaptera, publishing his first paper
in 1964 with G. Friese on Albanian earwigs. Prior to this he had already published over 60 papers, the
majority of them on Trichoptera and the larvae of British Tipulinae and British Diptera. Dermaptera took
over and between then and 1994 he published descriptions of a staggering “357 new taxa (321 species,
11 subspecies, 15 genera and 4 subfamilies) in 126papers ” (Johnson C. 2003: 57). His great work, ‘The
Dermaptera of Africa’, was published in two parts in 1973 and 1978 by the Musee Royal de l’Afrique
Centrale, Tervuren, Belgium.
Large numbers of Dermaptera continued to be received for identification from museums and scientific
institutions around the world. Each year hundreds of specimens were identified by Brindle and returned
and, according to custom, it was allowed that some specimens be retained at MMUE. Most of these
were not recorded in the accession register but this sort of work was a regular feature in the Annual
Reports, a typical one from 1965-66 recounting that of the earwigs received from various institutions,
most were new to the collection and “... a good proportion are species new to science ” (Report 1965-66:
14). In 1973 the workload was so heavy that Brindle had to return some Cassidinae unidentified to Dr
Richard zur Strassen of the Research Institute Senckenberg, Frankfurt as “ lam working on Dermaptera
and do not see any chance of working on the Cassidinae for some years to come ” (MMUE, Brindle
archive, item 174). As another example, Brindle was asked to examine approximately 5000 specimens
from Panama, from a collection organised by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. From this
material he described 14 new species (Brindle 1981, 1982a, 1988). His notes state that 802 specimens
of 31 species from this material were retained at MMUE (MMUE, Brindle archive, item 138). The only
earwig in the collection mounted with wings open was part of this consignment (Fig. 11).
Like Hincks, Brindle also sought out specimens from specific areas. Correspondence between Brindle,
PS. Nathan and his daughter-in-law T.R.S. Nathan shows that material from South India was requested
and received from before November 1964 to at least September 1972 (MMUE, Brindle Archive, items

215-234). There are several hundreds of Nathan contributions mounted, determined and incorporated
into the collection, with 1600 remaining as papered material. Brindle’s handwritten notes on some
packets identify genus and in some cases species, the majority of these packets containing mixed species
or genera. Both Hincks and Brindle named species for Nathan - Diplatys nathani Hincks, 1960 and
Gonolabidura nathani Brindle, 1965. Hincks acknowledged that Nathan’s “... expert field work has
provided many Museums with important insect materials from India ” (Hincks 1960a: 15) and Brindle
that his “... untiring efforts in collecting specimens have considerably increased our knowledge of the
Dermaptera of India” (Brindle 1965: 594).
During 1979-80, Dr Seiroku Sakai (1924-2004) visited the Manchester collection on his travels around
the world gathering original descriptions of new Dermaptera species and photographing existing type
specimens for his encyclopaedic ‘Dermapterorum Catalogus: A Basic Survey for Integrated Taxonomy
of the Dermaptera of the World’ (Masaki 2006). He met with Brindle and with Prof. E.J. Popham
of Manchester University to discuss classification (Report 1979-80: 15). They kept in contact and
the Brindle Archive holds Brindle’s working copy of Sakai’s ‘A new proposed classification of the
Dermaptera with special reference to the checklist of the Dermaptera of the world’ (Sakai 1982), with
further corrections and editions, as well as reprints of Sakai’s papers which he sent to Brindle.
Johnson (1996) estimated that during Brindle’s period as Keeper, the Dermaptera collection doubled in
size to around 10,000 specimens. The great numbers of specimens coming in from such identification
requests led to the re-curation of the Dermaptera in three cabinets with sixty drawers (Fig. 1). The first
part of the newly reorganised collection was arranged according to Hincks’ ‘Systematic Monograph
of the World Dermaptera’ and the rest of the collection was arranged according to “... revisions of
certain groups of the earwigs by the Keeper ” (Report 1967-68: 10). The storage of the Dermaptera spirit
collection today is virtually unchanged since Brindle re-curated it during 1972-3 (Report 1972-3).
Brindle retired in 1982, a much respected scientist who had overseen significant development of the
Museum’s entomological collections and gained a “... high reputation in the fields of classification
of world Dermaptera (Earwigs) and taxonomy of Diptera (fly) larvae ”. He was remembered as a “...
kindly, modest and thoughtful man, who wore his knowledge lightly and was always ready to help and
encourage others ” (Report 1981-82: 17).
Since his time, only around 30 specimens have been added to the collection, the most recent being three
specimens collected by Dmitri Logunov in Peru in 2014.
The Entomological Archive
In addition to a library of specialist books and reprints, the Manchester Museum’s Entomology
department holds thousands of documents relating to the Keepers and associated collectors, organised
into 34 collections. The following extracts summarise material relating to Brindle and Hincks (after
Logunov 2010a: 40):
Brindle, Alan 599 [items]. In five boxes. Correspondence with H.G. Briggs, I.M. Robson, H. Robertson,
T. Cekalovic, T.R.S. Nathan, G. Kerrich, and others (1933-84, 165 items); ‘Insect records’ (10 volumes,
1930-82); species records of aquatic insects in the museum collection, plus locality list; reprint collection
(346 items); index records; typed and handwritten lists of insect species; Lepidoptera records; various
keys; address books; visitor book; Diptera larvae catalogue; etc.
Hincks, Walter D. 611 [items]. In five boxes. Original figures for Dermaptera monograph (383 cards);

Hincks ’ and Brindle’s correspondence relating particularly to the Dermaptera collection is listed in
Appendices I and II. Due to the particular interest of these two curators, the entomology department has
a comprehensive library of their articles and reprints relating to Dermaptera as well as those of other
authors.
Notable earwig specimens in the MMUE collection
Giant Earwig, Labidura herculeana (Fabricius, 1798)
The collection contains two specimens (one male, one female) of the iconic Giant Earwig Labidura
herculeana (Fabricius, 1798) (accession nos. F3233.1871 (male) and F3233.1872 (female)) (Fig. 12).
The species is notable for being the largest known earwig, with one specimen in the Tervuren collections
measuring 78 mm long and some forceps remains suggesting even larger specimens existed (Brindle
1970c). The MMUE specimens were amongst 40 collected during expeditions in 1965-66 and 1967 by
the Musee Royal de l’Afrique Centrale (RMAC), Tervuren, Belgium. The species is also sadly notable
for being recently assessed extinct. Endemic to the island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean,
several unsuccessful searches have been made for them since and the species was assessed extinct in
August 2014, the last living specimen having been observed in May 1967 (Pryce & White 2014).
Downgraded to a subspecies of L. riparia by Kirby in 1904, in 1970 Brindle reinstated L. herculeana to
a full species (Brindle 1970c) after examining the 40 RMAC specimens. At the time he suggested that
“ ...the fact that this species is only known from this small area of St. Helena, and is not known from
anywhere else in the world, must give rise to some concern about its future status' ’ (Brindle 1970c: 215).
Pryce & White (2014) record that its decline may be due to the removal, for construction, of surface
stones under which the earwigs would burrow, as well as increased predation by rodents and possibly
invertebrates, including spiders and the centipede Scolopendra morsitans Linnaeus, 1758.
Brindle (1970c) also synonymised L. loveridgei Zeuner, 1962 with L. herculeana (Fabricius, 1798).
L. loveridgei had been described from forceps remains and named for the zoologist Arthur Loveridge
(1891-1980) who had moved to live on the island in 1957. Hincks had seen the forceps and also assigned

them to L. loveridgei (Brindle 1970c), but was keen to see more material, according to his letter to
Loveridge in June 1960 (MMUE, Hincks archive, item 360, Fig. 13). L. herculeana forceps were found
with bird bones by Philip Ashmole and Douglas Dorward at Prosperous Bay in 1959. Other remains
found by Philip and Myrtle Ashmole in 1995 suggest that some Giant Earwigs lived in seabird colonies
in rocky places before the seabirds were eradicated by predators ( Ashmole & Ashmole 2004).
In 1960, Loveridge wrote to Hincks outlining his intention to search for further L. herculeana remains
at the same spot where the forceps had been found, and wrote to him again six months later, recounting
the unsuccessful results of his expedition (Fig. 14). Loveridge had worked at Manchester Museum in
the time of J.R. Hardy. He said that if he had known Hincks was at MMUE, he would have asked for
the forceps to be deposited there .. where I know the collections are well-cared for ”, rather than at the
British Museum.
Parasitic earwigs
The collection also contains examples of parasitic earwig species. Two of the five species of the family
Arixeniidae are present. There are 15 specimens of Arixenia esan Jordan, 1909 (11 in spirit, 4 dried and
mounted) (Fig. 15) and 8 specimens of Xeniaria jacobsoni (Burr, 1912) (3 in spirit, 5 dried and mounted)
(Fig. 16). Karl Jordan (1861-1959), who described the family Arixeniidae and also A. esau in 1909,
sent 6 specimens of Arixenia (now Xeniaria) jacobsoni to Hincks, stating, “ ...the sender and collector
are now in Paradise, where all good entomologists go ” (MMUE, Brindle archive, item 55) (Fig. 17).
Jordan’s letter was sent from Walter Rothschild’s natural history museum at the small market town of
Tring in Hertfordshire, England. This museum, now part of the Natural History Museum, London, is still
one of the largest private natural history collections ever assembled (Natural History Museum 2015c).

The Arixenia esau specimens come from Gua Payau (Deer Cave), Sarawak, the specimen label stating
that they were found on a mound of bat guano. The wingless Arixeniidae occur in Indonesia, the
Philippines and the Malay peninsula, and are associated with bats of the genus Cheiromeles, feeding
on the bats’ skin and gland secretions (Kocarelc et al. 2013). They occur in large numbers on guano in
caves (Brindle & Oromi 1994). A. esau is not often found actually on flying bats, although it has been
suggested this is how the earwigs transfer to new roosts (Marshall 1977).
The collection also contains 5 of the 11 species of the Hemimeridae (36 specimens, 15 in spirit), which
are ectoparasites of Giant Rats. Hemimerus talpoides Walker, 1871 (Fig. 18) were the earliest recorded
foreign Dermaptera in the Accession Register, in 1919. The family shows adaptations to a parasitic
life with specialized grooves on the legs for close attachment to the host, loss of wings and eyes, and
straight, narrow cerci (Kocarek et al. 2013). In a study by Mogbo & Akunne (2014) in Awka, Nigeria,
Hemimerus talpoides was found to be the most abundant parasite of Cricetomys gambianus rats, with up
to 9 on those examined. These rats are economically important in the area as a source of protein and are
sold for hide. Their keen sense of smell has been used to detect land mines in Tanzania and to diagnose
tuberculosis (Mogbo & Akunne 2014), so just how injurious the parasites are to their hosts may well be
a topic for further research.

chopardi in 1958 (Hincks 1958a: 185). Brindle (1973f: 270) transferred Anechura chopardi to Forficula
with the new name F. borellii (F. chopardi Hin cks, 1947 being the senior homonym). In Ste inm a nn

Taxonomy
Forficulidae, Opisthocosmiinae, Timomenus jacobsoni Borelli, 1927.
Remarks
Brindle (1968f: 246) considered T. jacobsoni to be a lighter form of T. bicuspis (Stal, 1860); however,
Steinmann (1982b) presents T. jacobsoni as a species in its own right. In the original description, Borelli
referred to 4 specimens examined: 1 8 with data as F3233.1870, and 2 88 and 1 $ with data as
F3233.1869 except the date 1924. He did not designate a holotype and it appears therefore that all
four specimens should be considered syntypes. According to Steinmann (1982b: 365), 1 8 was held
at Museo ed Istituto di Zoologia Sistematoca, Torino, which Steinmann appears to have designated the
holotype (‘without penis’, although the male genitalia are figured in Steinmann’s description).

Remarks
1. Steinmann (1989c) and Hopkins et al. (2014) have Brindle’s original name as Kleter variabilis and
so have the current name as Mixocosmia variabilis (Brindle, 1973); however, Brindle’s original
description names the new species Mixocosmia variabilis , not Kleter.
2. The number of paratypes does not match that stated in the original description, i.e., of 36 male and
62 female paratypes with the same data as the holotype (dates ranging from 30 Apr. 1969 to 26 May
1971) mentioned in the description, 11 male and 14 female paratypes were at MMUE, not 12 males
and 8 females.
