Excerpt from Studies in Indian Dermaptera

A great number of localities are represented, evidently situated in, many very distinct life zones. It appears, however, that no single locality has yielded more than a small percentage of the total number of forms which there almost certainly occur. This is partially owing to the fact that the collecting of Dermaptera is difficult, due to the secretive habits of the majority of the species and the great diversity of habitat.

Certain species are to be found only under moist bark, others under stones still others in flowers and some in the seed pods of plants or under decaying fruit. Many species are, moreover, comparatively scarce. These factors have resulted, as is usual, in many of the species being represented by uniques or but one or two specimens in the collections before us. Some species, however come to light and it has often been found more easy to secure large series there than by searching for them in their normal habitat.
