Original description: Forficula mikado Burr 1904

  Statura robusta; colore rufo-castaneo, elytris alisque pallidoribus. Caput fusco-rufum, suturis haud perspicuis; antennae brunneae, 12 segmentatae, segmento 2 minimo, 4 quam tertium paullo breviori. Pronotum latum, capite vix angustius, fusco-rufum, pallido-marginatum, margine antico recto, angulis haud rotundatis, margine postico angulisque posticis rotundatis, prozona tumida, interdum utrinque tuberculo minimo indistincto instructa, metazona deplanata, lateribus reflexis. Elytra unicoloria fusca vel fusco-testacea; alae fusco-testaceae. Pedes longi, fusci vel fusco-testacei. Abdomen fusco-castaneum, nitens, pone medium paullo dilatatum, plicis lateralibus distinctis; segmentum ultimum dorsale ♂ transversum, latum, breve, medio impresso, sulculo obsolete instructum, margine ipso postico medio triangulariter reflexo, utrinque supra insertionem forcipis obtuse-tuberculato; segmentum penultimum ventrale transverso ovale, ultimum totum obtegens. Pygidium ♂ breve, quadratum, prominens, angulis posticis tuberculo minimo obsoleto instructis. Forcipis bracchia ♂ depressa, elongata, basi ipso dilatata ac deplanata, hac parte dilatata dente interno obtuso terminata; dehinc bracchia recta, inermia, simplicia, deplanata, apicibus ipsis incurvis, haud decussatis. ♂. ♀ ignota.

  Hab. JAPAN, Central; 7♂♂ and a fragment (J. Harmandi, 1900).
  This species presents the same dimorphism that is common in many earwigs, that is, there are two forms, macrolabia and microlabia. It is a very distinct species, distinguished by the unspotted elytra, compressed body, square pygidium, and the form of the forceps. It is, perhaps, in intermediate form between F. lurida or F. auricularia and F. smyrnensis.
