Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of British Entomology; Or a Synopsis of Indigenous Insects, Vol. 6: Containing Their Generic and Specific Distinctions; With an Account of Their Metamorphoses, Times of Appearance, Localities, Food, and Economy, as Far as Practicable Order II. - Dermaptera, De Geer. Wings very broad, ovate-triangular, with radiating nervures, folded longitudinally and transversely; stigma large, coriaceous, projecting (during repose) beyond the melytra; which are short, subquadrate, with a straight suture (as in the Coleoptera), and truncate at the apex. Body linear, nine-jointed in the males, seven-jointed in the females, and furnished at the apes with horizontally moveable appendages, more or less curved in the males, and straight in the females. Metamorphosis semicomplete. Although probably this order is not of equal value with the Coleoptera or Orthoptera, nevertheless I shall still consider it as distinct, as placed in the commencement of the first volume; with the former it agrees in having coriaceous elytra, destitute of nervures, and united by a straight suture; while it differs therefrom in its trophi, in which it agrees with the Orthoptera, but from them its elytra remove it. The order at present consists of a single family, whence its relative value becomes questionable: it was established by Kirby, in the Linnean Transactions, as the suggestion of Leach, but De Geer had previously noticed it, and his name is employed. Family I. Forficulidae mihi. Antennae filiform, the articulations distinct, variable in number, the basal one most robust, the second smallest, the remainder more or less inconstant in length; palpi filiform, with the terminal joint oblong-cylindric; labrum rounded, entire; mandibles curved, bifid at the apex; head scarcely broader than the thorax, flat, porrected; eyes slightly prominent; thorax somewhat quadrate, flat, especially on the sides; body slightly convex above and below, and armed at the tip with forceps; legs remote, nearly equidistant and simple, formed for running; tori triarticulate, the intermediate joint very short, and sometimes bilobed.
