Crypticerya zeteki is a species of Sternorrhyncha in the family Monophlebidae.[1][unreliable source?]

According to Gerald A. Kerkut the species is might be similar to Icerya purchasi.[2]

As of 2008 it was one of the three insect species where hermaphroditism occurs.[3] All females in this species become hermaphrodites. Males at times come from unfertilized eggs.[4]
