Comments.

Cryptodrassus is a small genus of small spiders with 11 accepted species distributed in the Palaearctic and India ( WSC 2024). Males of this genus differ from those from closely related Synaphosus Platnick & Shadab, 1980 by a lack of translucent flange on the male palp and smaller embolus, while females have less coiled insemination ducts. Until recently, a single species, C. hungaricus (Balogh, 1935) , has been recorded in the Caucasus (North Ossetia) ( Ponomarev et al. 2021).
