Chelidurella is a genus of European earwigs, in the family Forficulidae and subfamily Anechurinae, erected by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1902.[1] The recorded distribution of species (possibly incomplete) is mostly in northern Europe including Britain.[2] The genus name was recently restored (in 2021: several species had been placed in Chelidura) by Kirstová et al., who provide a key for identification of males.[3]
