Pygidicranidae is a family of earwigs, formerly placed in the suborder Forficulina, now in the suborder Neodermaptera. The family currently contains twelve subfamilies and twenty six genera. Eight of the subfamilies are monotypic, each containing a single genus. Of the subfamilies, both Astreptolabidinae and Burmapygiinae are extinct and known solely from fossils found in Burmese amber.[1] Similarly Archaeosoma, Gallinympha, and Geosoma, which have not been placed into any of the subfamilies, are also known only from fossils. Living members of the family are found in Australia, South Africa,[2] North America,[3] and Asia.[4] The monotypic genus Anataelia, described by Ignacio Bolivar in 1899, is found only on the Canary Islands.[5] As with all members of Neodermaptera, pygidicranids do not have any ocelli. The typical pygidicranid bodyplan includes a small, flattened-looking body, which has a dense covering of bristly hairs (setae). The pair of cerci at the end of the abdomen are symmetrical in structure. The head is broad, with the fourth, fifth and sixth antenna segments (antennomeres) that are not transverse. In general Pygidicranids also have equally sized ventral cervical sclerites, and in having the rearmost sclerite separated from, or only touching the center of the prosternum.[1] Cannibalism of young has been observed in at least one species in the family, Challia hongkongensis, in which an adult female was found eating a still-living nymph of the same species. The same species in a different area has been observed possibly eating fruits or seeds, making the species an omnivore.[4]

Pygidicranidae er en familie med insekter innen ordenen saksedyr. De lever vanligvis noe bortgjemt, i sprekker, blomster, under stener og bark.
Ganske lange og slanke saksedyr. Hodet er femkantet med middelsstore fasettøyne. Antennene er lange og tynne, trådformede. Halsen skiller seg anatomisk fra den hos andre saksedyr og blir beskrevet som "kakerlakk-lignende". Kroppen er smal og parallellsidig, vingene vanligvis velutviklede med smale dekkvinger. Beina er korte og kraftige. Tangen på bakkroppsspissen er kraftig.
Familien er utbredt i tropiske områder over det meste av verden: Sør- og Mellom-Amerika, Karibia, Afrika sør for Sahara, Madagaskar, Sørøst-Asia østover til Ny-Guinea og det vestlige og nordlige Australia.

긴가슴집게벌레과(Pygidicranidae) 또는 고려집게벌레과는 집게벌레목에 속하는 곤충 과이다. 현재, 12개 아과에 26속으로 분류하고 있다. 아과 중 8개 아과는 단일 속만이 존재하는 단형 아과이다. 아과 중에서 아스트렙톨라비스아과(Astreptolabidinae)와 부르마피기아아과(Burmapygiinae)는 멸종되었으며, 버마산 호박 안에서 발견된 화석종으로 유명하다.[1]
한국의 긴가슴집게벌레는 고려집게벌레와 규산고려집게벌레의 2종이었으나, 니시카와(Nishikawa) 박사가 2006년 2종을 신종 발표하여 총 4종이 서식한다.[2]
