Neiaduceinae

Neiaduceinae is a subfamily of the family Neiaduciidae, which is part of the order Dermaptera, commonly known as earwigs. This subfamily is characterized by its distinctive features, including a long, slender body, a pair of cerci, and a pair of forewings that are typically transparent or translucent. The subfamily is found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas, and is known for its predatory behavior, feeding on a variety of insects and other small invertebrates.

The taxonomy of Neiaduceinae is complex, with numerous species and genera described over the years. Some of the most well-known genera include Neiaduce, which is the type genus of the subfamily, and Neiaduciella, which is characterized by its smaller size and more robust body. The subfamily is found in various regions around the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia, and is of interest to researchers studying the evolution and ecology of earwigs.

Neiaduceinae is an important group for understanding the diversity and adaptations of earwigs, as well as their role in ecosystems. Further research is needed to fully understand the taxonomy, biology, and ecology of this subfamily, as well as its potential impacts on other organisms.
