Abstract

The occurrence of the ant cricket Myrmecophilus fuscus Stalling, 2013 in Croatia is reported in this study. The first evidence of M. fuscus from Croatia comes from Solin, Split-Dalmatia region. Both adults and nymphs of this species were found in ant nests of Crematogaster scutellaris (Olivier, 1791) in dead wood of pine forests. The identification of M. fuscus is discussed and photographs of this species are presented.
