Kryptochroma is a genus of South American bark-dwelling crab spiders erected by M. Machado, R. Viecelli, and C. Guzati in 2021 after a phylogenetic analysis showed that Stephanopis contained two distinctly different clades.[2] The genus was created for the "pentacantha" clade, as well as for several newly described species.[2][1]
Species
[edit]As of April 2022[update] it contains nine species:[1]
- K. gigas Machado & Viecelli, 2021 – Brazil
- K. hilaris Machado & Teixeira, 2021 – Brazil
- K. macrostyla (Mello-Leitão, 1929) – Brazil
- K. parahybana (Mello-Leitão, 1929) – French Guiana, Brazil
- K. pentacantha (Mello-Leitão, 1929) (type) – Brazil
- K. quadrata Machado & Viecelli, 2021 – Brazil
- K. quinquetuberculata (Taczanowski, 1872) – Colombia, French Guiana, Brazil
- K. renipalpis (Mello-Leitão, 1929) – Brazil
- K. septata Machado & Teixeira, 2021 – Brazil
