Arixeniidae

Arixeniidae is a family of earwigs in the suborder Neodermaptera.

Arixeniidae was formerly considered a suborder, Arixeniina, but was reduced in rank to family and included in the new suborder Neodermaptera.

[1][2] Arixeniidae is represented by two genera, Arixenia and Xeniaria, with a total of five species.

[3] Arixenia esau and Xeniaria jacobsoni are the most well-known.

As with Hemimerina, they are blind, wingless ectoparasites with filiform segmented cerci.
