''Haplodiplatys'' is a genus of Asian earwigs erected by Walter Douglas Hincks in 1955. It is the only member of the monotypic family Haplodiplatyidae, with many species originally placed in the genus ''Diplatys''; a key to them was prepared by Alan Brindle. Species The ''Dermaptera Species File'' genus Haplodiplatys Hincks, 1955 (Version 5.0/5.0; retrieved 16 September 2022) lists: # ''Haplodiplatys basilewskyi'' (Brindle, 1966) # ''Haplodiplatys bhowmiki'' (Srivastava & Saha, 1975) # ''Haplodiplatys bhutanensis'' (Brindle, 1975) # ''Haplodiplatys bidentatus'' (Hincks, 1955) # ''Haplodiplatys bilobus'' Bey-Bienko, 1959 # ''Haplodiplatys brancuccii'' Srivastava, 1983 # ''Haplodiplatys chinensis'' ...

Some groups are tiny parasites on mammals and lack the typical pincers. Earwigs are found on all continents except Antarctica. Earwigs are mostly nocturnal and often hide in small, moist crevices during the day, and are active at night, feeding on a wide variety of insects and plants. Damage to foliage, flowers, and various crops is commonly blamed on earwigs, especially the common earwig ''Forficula auricularia.'' Earwigs have five molts in the year before they become adults.
