Apocrypta is an Old World genus of parasitic fig wasps in the family Pteromalidae. They parasitize certain species of the fig wasp genera Apocryptophagus and Ceratosolen. The long ovipositor is pierced through the fig wall to infect the fig wasp larvae during their development inside the flower galls. Ceratosolen wasps are key pollinator species, and their production is consequently reduced. Apocryptophagus wasps are however gall forming non-pollinators.
