Cryptolasma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with two described species (as of 2023). [1] [2] [3] Both species are found in the Central eastern region of Mexico in Veracruz state. [1] [4] [5]
The genus Cryptolasma was described by Cruz-López, Cruz-Bonilla & Francke, 2018, [6] with the type species Cryptolasma aberrante Cruz-López, Cruz-Bonilla & Francke, 2018. The genus is said to be easily recognized from other ortholasmatines by a unique character combination. [6]
These two species belong to the genus Cryptolasma:
The genus is neuter. The generic name is a combination of the prefix crypto- from the Greek kryptós meaning hidden or secret, with -lasma, a common suffix of the subfamily; in reference to the peculiar cryptic habits.
Dyspnoi is a suborder of harvestmen, currently comprising 43 extant genera and 356 extant species, although more species are expected to be described in the future. The eight families are currently grouped into three superfamilies: the Acropsopilionoidea, Ischyropsalidioidea, and Troguloidea.

Dendrolasma mirabile is a species of harvestman in the family Nemastomatidae. It is found in North America, in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and Canada. The species was described by Nathan Banks, who reported the original specimen from USA, "Washington State", consistent with later records over a wider geographic range.
