A new species of ant cricket, Myrmecophilus (Myrmophilina) jordanicus n. sp., is described from Israel and Jordan. Detailed information is provided about the host ant species of this myrmecophilous species and its habitat. Myrmecophilus nigricornis Chopard, 1963, n. syn., is considered a junior synonym of Myrmecophilus ochraceus Fischer, 1853, and the fate of the type specimens of the latter is discussed.
