Remarks.
The general appearance of species of the genus is similar to
Ariasa
with the
type
species being assigned to
Ariasa
before the erection of this genus (
Sanborn 2016c
). Species of
Ariasa
are expected to be found in
Suriname
in the future as there are a number of species of the genus found in neighboring
French Guiana
(
Sanborn 2016a
). Separate, long hooked lateral uncal lobes, angled pygofer distal shoulder, parallel lateral abdominal segments, and abdomen length greater than distance between apex of postclypeus and posterior cruciform elevation can distinguish species of
Cracenpsaltria
easily. Species of
Cracenpsaltria
have a thinner appearance than species of
Ariasa
. The contrasting coloration pattern of the two known species is also significantly different from species of
Ariasa
.
Distribution.
The genus has been recorded from
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
French Guiana
,
Peru
, South America, and
Suriname
(

). First records for
Ecuador
(
Sanborn 2019b
;

) were published recently.
