nounˈstʌɪlɒpsˈstīläps

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.

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.

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