Current status. Invalid.

Remarks. The generic name Crypta Fraser, 1911 is an invalid junior homonym of Crypta Stephens, 1830: 103 (Coleoptera), and Crypta Gray, 1850: 83 (Mollusca), and was replaced by Endocrypta Fraser, 1912a . Endocrypta was then shown to be a junior subjective synonym of Bythotiara Günther, 1903 by Brinckmann-Voss (1979). Although Crypta Humphrey, 1797: 4 (Mollusca) appeared even earlier than the homonymous names above, it was published in a work rejected for nomenclatural purposes by the ICZN in not having been published as prescribed by the Code (Opinion 51), and is not available.
