Alaptus eriococci
Fairyfly
Alaptus eriococci Girault, 1908 is a species of fairyfly in the family Mymaridae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). The species was described by Girault in 1908 and a lectotype was designated by Triapitsyn in 2017 during a comprehensive revision of the Holarctic Alaptus fauna. Like other members of this genus, it is an egg parasitoid, though specific host records for this species remain limited in the available literature. The species name "eriococci" suggests an association with scale insects in the family Eriococcidae.
