List Of Dermapterans Of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a tropical island situated close to the southern tip of India. The invertebrate fauna is as large as it is common to other regions of the world. There are about 2 million species of arthropods found in the world, and still is counting. The following list provides the earwigs currently identified from Sri Lanka. Earwig The exact diversity and their biology is well studied within Sri Lanka due to major contributions by Malcolm Burr in 1901 and Alan Brindle in 1977. According to a checklist by Steinmann in 1989, 71 species of earwigs may be found in Sri Lanka, distributed between 11 families and 21 genera.

Earwig
Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forcep-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings". 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. Many earwig species display maternal care, which is uncommon among insects. Female earwigs may care for their eggs, and even after they have hatched as nymphs will continue to ...

Forficula Auricularia
''Forficula auricularia'', the common earwig or European earwig, is an omnivorous insect in the family Forficulidae. The European earwig survives in a variety of environments and is a common household insect in North America. The name ''earwig'' comes from the appearance of the hindwings, which are unique and distinctive among insects, and resemble a human ear when unfolded; the species name of the common earwig, ''auricularia'', is a specific reference to this feature. They are considered a household pest because of their tendency to invade crevices in homes and consume pantry foods, and may act either as a pest or as a beneficial species depending on the circumstances (see below). ''Forficula auricularia'' is reddish-brown in color, with a flattened and elongate body, and slender, beaded antennae. An obvious feature of earwigs is the pair of 'pincers' or forceps at the tip of the flexible abdomen. Both sexes have these pincers; in males they are large and very curved, whereas in ...

Cordax Ceylonicus
The cordax ( grc, κόρδαξ), was a provocative, licentious, and often obscene mask dance of ancient Greek comedy. In his play '' The Clouds'', Aristophanes complains that other playwrights of his time try to hide the feebleness of their plays by bringing an old woman onto the stage to dance the cordax. He notes with pride that his patrons will not find such gimmicks in his plays. Petronius Arbiter in his Roman novel the '' Satyricon'' has Trimalchio boast to his dinner guests that no one dances the cordax better than his wife, Fortunata. The nature of this dance is described in the satires of Juvenal, who says "the girls encouraged by applause sink to the ground with tremulous buttocks." The poet Horace and playwright Plautus refer to the same dance as ''ionici motus''. Juvenal makes specific mention of the ''testarum crepitus'' (clicking of castanets). In the earlier Greek form, finger cymbals were used. Citations General references "Cordax"at the ''Dictionary of Cla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Forficulidae
Forficulidae is a family of earwigs in the order Dermaptera. There are more than 70 genera and 490 described species in Forficulidae. Species in this family include ''Forficula auricularia'' (the European earwig or common earwig) and '' Apterygida media'' (the short-winged earwig or hop-garden earwig). Forficulidae was formerly considered a suborder of Dermaptera, Forficulina, but was reduced in rank to family and placed in suborder Neodermaptera. Genera These 71 genera belong to the family Forficulidae: * '' Acanthocordax'' Günther, 1929 * '' Afrocosmia'' Hincks Hinck and Hincks are surnames, and may refer to: Hinck * Jon Hinck (born 1954), American environmentalist Hincks * Carroll C.
