Chrysocryptus Cameron, 1902

Chrysocryptus Cameron, 1902 . Jour. Straits Branch Roy. Asiatic Soc. 37: 58.

Type species. Chrysocryptus aureopilosa Cameron, 1902 . Monobasic.

Synonym. Anunda Cameron, 1911: 231 .

Type species. Anunda pilosella Cameron, 1911 . Monobasic.

Diagnosis. Head and mesosoma densely covered with long blond setae; apical margin of clypeus broadly convex, with three small teeth at the center; lower mandibular tooth about half as long as upper tooth; occipital carina complete; mesoscutum with notauli deep and posteriorly convergent; propodeum with strong carinae, area superomedia longer than wide; fore wing with vein 3 rs-m present, areolet pentagonal, 2 m-cu weakly inclivous; first tergite long and slender, completely fused with sternite, without carinae, spiracle at or anterior to middle.

There are no host records for any species of Chrysocryptus . Townes (1970) placed Chrysocryptus in his subtribe Bathytrichina , although this relationship has not been formally tested; known hosts of Bathythrix Förster (better known than other ‘bathytrichines’) span a wide range of holometabolous insect pupae and, in a few cases, spider egg sacs (e.g., Schwarz & Shaw, 2010).
