Pronotum trifle wider than long, anterior angle not prominent, posterior margin slightly convex, median longitudinal furrow present, with a small pit on each side. Tegmina longer than pronotum; lateral margin with a distinct ridge (Fig. 1: lr), slightly rounded at shoulders; partial region of elytra densely rugose, but without larger points; posterior margin obliquely truncate. Hindwings absent. Mesosternum (Fig. 1: me) quadrate, nearly as wide as long. Legs relatively shorter than many congeners; posteriorly stretched hind leg reach to base of forceps. Abdominal tergites with weak punctures; lateral glands (Fig. 1: lg) on tergites 3 - 4 well marked, with that on tergite 4 much larger. Ultimate tergite (Figs 1: ut, 2) narrowed posteriad, posteromedially with a small pit. Penultimate sternite normal, with arched posterior margin. Lateral plates large, well protruded beneath the penultimate sternite. Pygidium (Fig. 1: py) small, rounded. Forceps (Figs 2, 6 H) basally approached to each other, and each bearing two inner teeth; basalmost tooth directed dorsad; distal 2 / 3 distinctly arched as a semicircular curve, terminally acutely tapering and bearing a subdistal tooth. Genitalia (Fig. 3): Paramere (Fig. 3: pa) short, penis lobe (Fig. 3: pl) wide, which is narrowed distad, shorter than paramere. Virga (Fig. 3: vi) within genital lobe comparatively elongate, vesicle of virga (Fig. 3: vv) sclerotized and curved. Female. Body length 13 mm; forceps length 5 mm. Similar to male, but darker; penultimate sternite normal, rounded posteriorly; pygidium smaller; forceps straight and simple.	en	Ye, Xiaohan, Kamimura, Yoshitaka, Li, Wenliang, Liu, Xingyue (2023): A new earwig species of the genus Liparura Burr, 1907 (Dermaptera: Forficulidae from China.

6A4C87E9FF8DFF935EB4F9459C83F80C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species is named after Chongqing where its type locality is located.	en	Ye, Xiaohan, Kamimura, Yoshitaka, Li, Wenliang, Liu, Xingyue (2023): A new earwig species of the genus Liparura Burr, 1907 (Dermaptera: Forficulidae from China.

6A4C87E9FF8DFF935EB4F9459C83F80C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is assigned to Liparura based on the scape longer than distance between antennal bases, the tegmina with a sharp ridge along the costal margin and obliquely truncate on posterior margins, the absence of hindwings, the penis lobe and paramere short, and the virga elongate with sclerotized curvature basally. The new species can be readily distinguished from most other Liparura species except L. cornuta by the male forceps basally close to each other and distally incurved. The new species differs from L. cornuta by the ultimate tergite smooth without lateral protrusions, and the different shape of male forceps.	en	Ye, Xiaohan, Kamimura, Yoshitaka, Li, Wenliang, Liu, Xingyue (2023): A new earwig species of the genus Liparura Burr, 1907 (Dermaptera: Forficulidae from China.
