REMARKS.
As stated above, the genus is similar to
Ariasa
in general appearance with the
type
species being assigned to
Ariasa
before the erection of the genus (
Sanborn 2016c
). However, species of the genus can be distinguished easily by the separate, long hooked lateral uncal lobes, angled pygofer distal shoulder, lack of laterally expanding abdominal segments, and length of the abdomen being greater than distance between apex of head and posterior cruciform elevation in
Cracenpsaltria
. Species of
Cracenpsaltria
have a thinner appearance than species of
Ariasa
. The contrasting coloration pattern of the two known species is also different from
Ariasa
species.
