Spongiphorinae
The Spongiphorinae are a medium-sized subfamily of earwigs in the superfamily Forficuloidea, sometimes called "little earwigs", erected by Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1902. Distribution records appear to be incomplete, but genera such as Spongiphora (the type genus) originate from the Americas including the Caribbean; certain species such as Marava arachidis, have a cosmopolitan distribution.
