D.R. Kasparyan & E. Ruiz Cancino

Abstract. A key to 38 North American species of Cryptanura is given. 30 species are recorded for Mexico; new data on their distribution are given. 10 new species from Mexico are described; the following new synonymy is established: Cryptanura ectypa (Cresson, 1873) = C. vallis Porter, 1977, syn. n.; C. nitidiuscula Cameron, 1886 = C. bicarinata Cushman, 1945, syn. n.
