Genus COMPSOCRYPTUS Ashmead 



Cryptoideus Ashmead, 1900. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 23: 42. 



Type-species: Cryptus purpuripennis Cresson. Monotypic and orig. desig. The 

 type-species was misidentified by Ashmead; the specimen Ashmead misidentified 

 as purpuripennis is the holotype of Xylophrurus atroruber Townes (=X. 

 sitkensis [Ashmead]). 

 Compsocryptus Ashmead, 1900. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 23: 43. 



Type-species: Cryptus calipterus Say. Monotypic and orig. desig. 

 Callicryptus Ashmead, 1900. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 23: 43. 



Type-species: Cryptus fasciatus (!) Brulle. Monotypic and orig. desig. Dalla Torre 

 (1902) regarded the type-species citation as a typographical error for C. 

 fusco-fasciatus Brulle, while Viereck (1914) regarded it as a lapsus for C. 

 fasciipennis Brulle. It seems that Viereck is probably correct, but both 

 fuscofasciatus and fasciipennis are presently placed in Coiupsocryptus. 

 Stictocryptus Cameron, 1908. Amer. Ent. Soc, Trans. 34: 243. Preocc. by Cameron, 1907. 

 Type-species: Cryptus fasciipennis Brulle. Monotypic and orig. desig. Cameron 

 made the type-species designation as Cryptus "fasciatipennis" Brulle, which is 

 certainly a lapsus for fasciipoinis. 

 Sopliocryptus Mallo, 1961. Idia 165: 17. Nomen nudum. 



This moderate sized genus is Nearctic and Neotropic.

Cryptus buccatus Cresson, 1872. Amer. Ent. Soc, Trans. 4: 159. 6,9. 

 calipterus (Say). Northwestern Okla., Tex., N. Mex., Ariz., Calif.; Mexico. In their tribal 



revision, Townes and Townes (1962) treated the majority of specimens from Calif, as 

 subspecifically distinct, but because the differences seem to be more or less clinal the 

 subspecies are not recognized here.
