Genus COCCIDENCYRTUS Ashmead

Type-species: Coccideiicyrtoide.s cuniulipes Blanchard. Desig. by De Santis, 1956. 



It is difficult to determine precisely the size of Coccidencyrhis because of the questioned 

 generic placement of many species. The genus is cosmopolitan in distribution and parasitizes 

 scale insects.

 been recovered on every continent. It is composed of primary, internal parasites of armored 

 scale insects.
