Until now I called my aliens Selenians but now I have to decide on a perment moniker for them. it must be nothing copied from films or books. Difficult, especialy when they have a more than passing resemblance to Giger's monster.
After their
modus operandi and posssible screeching I decided an ancient mythical association was appropriate. The grasping nature of their attacks with the intention of carrying off victims point to
Harpyiai - Harpies.

So Harpies it is from now on...
