Abstract

A new species of the genus Cranopygia Burr, 1908 (Dermaptera, Pygidicranidae), C. crockeri sp. n., is described from North Borneo, Sabah State. Cranopygia crockeri sp. n. differs from the congeners in a peculiar structure of the virga and metaparameres and in strongly reduced wings. A detailed morphological description of the new species is given.
