Female Lectotype of Cyrtorhinus parviceps Reuter is designated by Henry 2012 and it is deposited at British Museum of Natural History (Henry 2012). Male Lectotype of Tytthus parviceps (Reuter) is designated by Henry 2012 and it is deposited at Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Henry 2012). Female Paralectotype of Cylloceps pellicia Uhler is designated by Henry 2012 and it is deposited at British Museum of Natural History (Henry 2012).
In India, it is a predator of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and in Australia it feeds on the eggs of Perkinsiella saccharicida Kirkaldy (Wheeler & Henry 1992).
Also, it has been found preying on eggs of Tagosodes orizicolus (Muir) in rice plantations (Wheeler 2001).
In Florida and in Ecuador it has been asociated with Saccarosydne saccharivora (Westwood) and Perkinsiella saccharicida on sugarcane (Henry 2012).
