Systematics: The adult male of Ri. cryphia is basically similar to the males of other apterous Ripersiella species , but differs in having the following combination of character states: (i) 9-segmented antennae, each flagellar segment broadest medially or distally; (ii) loculate pores present dorsally on thorax and abdomen, with 2 pairs laterally in each abdominal segment; (iii) 1 pair of simple eyes present laterally on head; (iv) each trochanter with 3 campaniform pores on each side; (v) body setae few; (vi) Y-shaped sclerotisations present on trochanter, and (vii) penial sheath with a broad triangular apex, with shallow concentric ridges. The only other adult male known with only 1 pair of simple eyes is Ripersiella sp. B from Ethiopia. These two species are otherwise very different. (Hodgson, 2012)
