Abstract
ABSTRACT: The Old World ant cricket Myrmecophilus americanus Saussure, 1877 is reported for the first time from Nuevo Leon state, Mexico. The crickets were found living with their obligate host, the Old World ant, Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille, 1802). The list of known ant hosts of native New World Myrmecophilus species is updated.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
