The chromosome cytology of two species of Dermaptera, namely Diplatys gladiator and Forficula sp., has been studied. The diploid number of chromosomes in male Diplatys gladiator is 18 (16AA + XY), whereas in male Forficula sp. it is 27 (24AA + X1X2Y). These are the two new chromosome numbers for Dermaptera. The evolutionary status of Forficula sp. in the family Forficulinae has been emphasized.
对两种蠼螋，即角蠼螋（Diplatys gladiator）和一种球螋（Forficula sp.）进行了染色体细胞学研究。雄性角蠼螋的染色体二倍体数为18（16AA + XY），而雄性球螋的染色体二倍体数为27（24AA + X1X2Y）。这些是蠼螋新的染色体数目。强调了球螋在球螋亚科中的进化地位。
