TYPE SPECIES. — Chelisoficula caussaneli n. gen., n. sp. ETYMOLOGY. — The generic name is an artificial combination of Chelisoches and Forficula , giving the name Chelisoficula . This is allowing, if necessary, the possibility to erect in the future a new family with this name. DIAGNOSIS. — This genus has a unique combination of characters: second tarsal segments strongly extending below the third, from which they are deeply separated;
A B
tarsal claws strong and separated by a large arolium; apex of cercus strongly curved and making an angle of 90° with the inner margin of the cercus; structure of the female cerci very particular, with numerous spines composed of long and strong setae, in the centre of tubercles (autapomorphy, unique character among the Dermaptera ).
