Abstract

Allograssiella floridana gen. nov., spec. nov., a species of myrmecophilous Zygentoma belonging to a new genus of Nicoletiidae (Atelurinae) is described from the Florida Keys. It is the first silverfish known as an inquiline of Pseudomyrmecinae ants. The new genus seems particularly close to a group of probably primitive genera of Atelurinae known from the Neotropical and Afrotropical Regions, one of which extends to the southern Nearctic and to eastern North Africa; the only known fossil Atelurinae is also considered as part of the same lineage.
