Subfamily of earwigs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spongiphorinae are a medium-sized subfamily of earwigs in the superfamily Forficuloidea, sometimes called "little earwigs",[1] erected by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1902.[2] Distribution records appear to be incomplete, but genera such as Spongiphora (the type genus) originate from the Americas including the Caribbean;[3] certain species such as Marava arachidis, have a cosmopolitan distribution.
