Abstract
A new genus of archidermapteran earwigs is described for Brevicula teres Tihelka (Dermapteridae) from Sinemurian deposits of the Black Ven Mudstone Member, Charmouth Mudstone Formation, Dorset, United Kingdom. Dacryoderma Engel, new genus, is distinct from Brevicula Whalley in the broadly rounded anterior tegminal border lacking a submedial hump and overall teardrop shape, with the anterior margin tapering gradually in a comparatively straight line to the more acutely rounded apex. The following new combination is established: Dacryoderma teres (Tihelka).
