Myrmophilellus pilipes是一种生活在蚁穴内的食蚁蟋蟀，在印度、斯里兰卡和不丹都有报道。然而，我们的实地调查沿着几年揭示了一个更广泛的亚洲分布的这个物种和主机通才生物学。我们认为，人类运输的流浪蚂蚁物种和缺乏主机特异性有利于广泛分布的M。毛腿
Myrmophilellus pilipes, a myrmecophilous cricket that lives inside ant nests, has been reported from India, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan. However, our field survey along several years revealed a broader Asian distribution of this species and a host-generalist biology. We suggest that human transportation of tramp ant species and lack of host-specificity favored the broad distribution ofM. pilipes.
