Cryptoerithus Rainbow, 1915

Type species: Cryptoerithus occultus Rainbow, 1915

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 318

(after Platnick & Baehr 2006): Specimens of Cryptoerithus genus can readily be separated from those of all other molycriines by the relatively short anterior lateral spinnerets, which are only moderately advanced from the posterior pairs, and by the peculiar paramedian rows of stiff, erect setae found on the abdominal venter, between the epigastric scutum and the spinnerets.
