N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to the team of the Center of Studies in Subterranean Biology from the Federal University of Lavras (CEBS/UFLA) for their efforts in sampling earwigs in Brazilian caves. We also thank Kazunori Yoshizawa, Shigehiko Shiyake, and Dmitri V. Lo-gunov for their help with specimen examination, Kyohei Watanabe for advice on the present status of the genus Heterolabis (Ichneumonidae), and Petr Kočárek, Christophe Girod, and Masaru Nishikawa for useful comments on a previous version of the manuscript. This study was partly supported by JSPS research grants (Kakenhi Nos. 15H04409 [head, Kazunori Yoshizawa] and 15K07133) to YK and CNPq grant (n.304682/2014-4 from the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico) to RLF.

N2 - Based on samples collected during surveys of Brazilian cave fauna, seven earwig species are reported: Cylindrogaster cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n., Cylindrogaster sp. 1, Cylindrogaster sp. 2, Euborellia janeirensis, Euborellia brasiliensis, Paralabellula dorsalis, and Doru luteipes, as well as four species identified to the (sub) family level. To date, C. cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n. has been recorded only from cave habitats (but near entrances), whereas the other four organisms identified at the species level have also been recorded from non-cave habitats. Wings and female genital structures of Cylindrogaster spp. (Cylindrogastrinae) are examined for the first time. The genital traits, including the gonapophyses of the 8th abdominal segment shorter than those of the 9th segement, and venation of the hind wings of Cylindrogastrinae correspond to those of the members of Diplatyidae and not to Pygidicranidae. This is the first synopsis of cave-dwelling earwigs of Brazil, one of the most species-rich areas of Dermaptera in the world.
