REMARKS. The genus was erected for a single species previously classified in the genus
Ariasa
. Species of the genus can be distinguished by the distinguished by the separate, long, hooked lateral branches of the uncus, the angled pygofer distal shoulder, the absence of laterally expanding abdominal segments, and the length of the abdomen is greater than the distance between the apex of the head and the posterior cruciform elevation in
Cracenpsaltria
. Species of
Cracenpsaltria
also have a thinner appearance than all species of
Ariasa
. The contrasting coloration pattern of the two known species is also significantly different from known
Ariasa
species.
