Labidura is a genus of earwigs in the family Labiduridae. Probably the earliest specimen of Labidura was found in Eocene amber. Among the Labidura species, Labidura riparia is cosmopolitan, but the Saint Helena earwig (Labidura herculeana) was the largest of all earwigs before its possible extinction after the year of 1967.
