Old World ant cricket

Myrmecophilus americanus

distribution map for Myrmecophilus americanus
Dots show all records documented by Wetterer & Hugel 2014.

No shaded area is included on this map, because ant crickets are wingless and are unlikely [and unknown?] to catch a ride during the mating flights of their host ants. Thus only the cluster of points in the lower Keys are likely to be from the same founding event from the Old World (or from previously established populations in the New World).
