A new species to genus Marava Burr, 1911 (Spongiphoridae: Spongiphorinae) from Pakistan

The earwig belongs to the order Dermaptera. They are small to medium-sized insects, often darkcolored and rather elongated. The modification of the cerci, which produces powerful, terminal, 
unsegmented, abdominal forceps, is usually stronger and more curved in males than in females. 
This makes them easily distinguishable in the adult and later juvenile stages. During the present 
study, specimens were collected in two phases: April 2019 to March 2020 and April 2020 to March 
2021, from eleven districts of the Sindh province. A total of 373 specimens were captured and 
identified as belonging to the single genus Marava Burr, 1911, with two species: Marava arachidis
and Marava sindhesis (sp. nov.). Marava sindhesis (sp. nov.) is reported as a new species in 
science. In addition to the species description, information about the distribution of the species is 
provided.
