Neodermaptera, sometimes called Catadermaptera,[2] is a suborder of earwigs in the order Dermaptera.

There are more than 2,000 described species in Neodermaptera.

[3][4][5] The former suborders Forficulina, Hemimerina, and Arixeniina have been reduced in rank to family and placed into the new suborder Neodermaptera.

Neodermaptera now contains all the extant species of Dermaptera, while the extinct species make up the suborders Archidermaptera and Eodermaptera.

[3][5] BioLib[2] includes seven superfamilies, with the Dermaptera Species File[6] grouping these into two infraorders and fossil genera incertae sedis: Infraorder authority: Engel, 2003 Authority: Verhoeff, 1902 Authority: Verhoeff, 1902 Authority: Latreille, 1810 (synonym Forficulina) Authority: Sharp, 1895 Authority: Verhoeff, 1902 Infraorder authority: Zacher, 1910 Authority: Verhoeff, 1902 Authority: Verhoeff, 1902
