Cryptops ( Cryptops ) Leach, 1814 Figs 29, 30 Synonyms. C. ( Trichocryptops ) Verhorff, 1937 Type species. Scolopendra hortensis Donovan, 1810 (by monotypy). Diagnosis. Clypeus in overwhelming majority of species without setose plate(s) delimited by sutures ( Fig. 29 ). Pretarsus of maxillae 2 more or less curved (sometimes hooked, Fig. 30 ), apically either pointed (fig. 285 in Attems 1930 ) or lobe-shaped (fig. 69 in Verhoeff 1934 ). Pretarsus in most species is accompanied by a ventral projection ( Fig. 30 ). Dorsal brush of maxilla 2 longer (sometimes slightly shorter) than corresponding pretarsus. Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite virtually straight or bilobed ( Fig. 29 ), in most species with long enlarged marginal setae; tarsungula long, overlapping each other by at least 1/3 of their length when adducted ( Fig. 29 ). Sternites in most species (and in most specimens within these species) with “cruciform” sutures (see above) of which a median longitudinal one may be not well-developed (rarely virtually absent) plus an additional posterior transverse suture (but never with trigonal sutures; see also Diagnosis of C. ( Trigonocryptops ) below). Anterior corners of the endosternites without the lateral projections in the majority of species. Number of species. “More than 170 species in four subgenera” ( Edgecombe & Bonato 2011: 393 ), 181 ( Bonato et al . 2016 ). Remarks. Present as genus and nominate subgenus in Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 393) , Lewis (2011: 12) , Murienne et al . (2011: 62) , Voigtländer & Reip (2013: 220) , Schileyko (2014: 183) , Schileyko & Stoev (2016: 262) , Lewis (2016a: 575) , Bonato et al . (2016) . Lewis (2016a) synonymised Cryptops ( Trichocryptops ) to Cryptops ( Cryptops ) .
