Remarks.

Verhoeff (1901) noted that it was of the size and habit of hortensis but pale yellow. The brief description is insufficient to distinguish it from Cryptops hortensis . It was regarded as a synonym of Cryptops anomalans by Kraepelin (1903). Zapparoli (2002) notes that the identity of this species must be checked. It is here regarded as a nomen dubium.
