Kryptochroma

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]
