Definition of stylops in English:

stylops

nounˈstʌɪlɒpsˈstīläps

A minute insect that spends part or all of its life as an internal parasite of other insects, especially bees or wasps. The males are winged and the females typically retain a form like that of a grub and remain parasitic.
Order Strepsiptera, in particular genus Stylops, family Stylopidae
Example sentencesExamples
- All species are fairly similar in appearance and a typical example of a male stylops is illustrated opposite.
- The Strepsiptera, from the meaning of this name, may be called the twisted-wing parasites, though the words stylops and stylopid are frequently used in referring to them.
- Larval stages and female stylops of most families are internal parasites; adult males are free-living.

Derivatives

stylopid

adjective & nounstʌɪˈlɒpɪd

But the stylopids (order Strepsiptera) are thought to be a closely related group that have retained the parasitic lifestyle even as adults.
Example sentencesExamples
- The orientation of stylopids in the host metasomas seems to be determined beforehand at early larval stages.
- How mature stylopids penetrate the intersegmental membranes of the host has not been described.
- Transferring onto such individuals as chance may permit, the stylopids finally arrive where larvae of the proper species are available and at once attack them.
- Male stylopids look a bit like beetles, but the females look like small grubs, with no eyes, antennae or legs.

Origin

Late 19th century: modern Latin, from Greek stulos 'column' + ōps 'eye, face'.
