Archidermaptera is an extinct suborder of earwigs in the order Dermaptera. It is one of two extinct suborders of earwigs, and contains two families ( Protodiplatyidae and Dermapteridae) known only from Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous fossils. [1] [2] The suborder is classified on the basis of general similarities. [1] The Archidermaptera share with modern earwigs tegmenized forewings, though they lack the distinctive forceps-like cerci of modern earwigs, have external ovipositors, and possess ocelli. [3] The grouping has been suggested to be paraphyletic. [4]
