Preocc. by Smith, 1858 and Provancher, 1877. This is species number 39 in Provancher's 



treatment of Cryptus; the same number is used by Provancher for C. ornatus in his key 



to the species of Cryptus; the fact that the synonymy between the two names 



pertaining to species number 39 is objective was substantiated by Provancher (1889).
