New Records and an Updated Checklist of Earwigs (Insecta: Dermaptera) from Manipur, India Including the Rediscovery of Cranopygia constricta (Hincks, 1955) (Dermaptera: Pygidicranoidea: Pygidicranidae)

Knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of earwigs in Manipur is based largely on scattered historical records, and recent faunal assessments remain limited. Surveys conducted in Churachandpur District during February-July 2024 documented 10 species belonging to nine genera and six families. Cranopygia constricta (Hincks, 1955), Aborolabis pervicina (Burr, 1913) and Euborellia femoralis (Dohrn, 1863) are added to the known Dermaptera fauna of Manipur. An updated state checklist comprises 41 species belonging to 23 genera and six families. Diagnostic characters of the newly recorded species are provided, together with an illustrated redescription of C. constricta.
