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.
