Worldwide Spread of the Ant Cricket Myrmecophilus americanus, a Symbiont of the Longhorn Crazy Ant, Paratrechina longicornis

The number of dorsal spurs on the hind basitarsus varied among and within adult M. americanus specimens, calling into question the use of this character in distinguishing different species, and it would expect future studies to find additional species-specific adaptations that may be unique to the M. longicornis association.

Laying the foundations of evolutionary and systematic studies in crickets (Insecta, Orthoptera): a multilocus phylogenetic analysis

The first phylogenetic hypothesis for the evolution of crickets sensu lato is proposed, based on analysis of 205 species, representing 88% of the subfamilies and 71% tribes currently listed in the database Orthoptera Species File (OSF).

First North American Records of the Old World Ant Cricket Myrmecophilus americanus (Orthoptera, Myrmecophilidae)

The first North American records of M. americanus are reported, all from peninsular Florida and the Florida Keys, and it is likely that the higher latitude records reported as M.Americanus from subtropical semi-arid Mediterranean sites are actually misidentifications of one or more distinct species.
