Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee, 2022) Cryptoripersia is closely related to Trionymus Berg, 1899. The differences beetween the two genera are to be found in the structure of the anal lobe cerarii and in the position of the anal ring. In Cryptoripersia, the anal lobe cerarii are formed of two longish slender spines, without any concentration of trilocular pores, and the anal ring is more o less removed from the apex of the abdomen. In Trionymus, the spines of the anal lobe cerarii are short, normally robust and always surrounded by a grouping of trilocular pores; the anal ring is apical. (De Lotto, 1964)
