REMARKS: For an emended description see
Voss et al. (2005)
, who also tabulated measurement data from eight referred specimens. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence datasets (e.g.,
Dias et al., 2016
; Teta and Díaz-Nieto, 2019;
Fegies et al., 2021
) have consistently recovered
Cryptonanus unduaviensis
as the sister species to a clade that contains all the other species in this genus.
