Diagnosis
Length: about 20 mm. Without dark subcutaneous pigment. Cephalic plate with very short anterior longitudinal sutures extending only a short way back from the bases of the antennae, without posterior paramedian sutures. Clypeus with a pair of post-antennal setae, 4–12 somewhat irregular clypeals and 6–12 prelabrals. Labral sidepieces not notched. Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite barely protuberant, with about four setae on each side on the anterior margin (Fig. 39). Poison gland calyx club-like (Fig. 40), somewhat variable in shape, situated mainly in the forcipular tibia. Posterior margin of sternite 21 slightly concave. Coxopleural pore field with about 30 pores, not extending to posterior margin, usually containing a single seta (Fig. 41), sometimes without. Prefemur of ultimate leg with ventral median longitudinal groove. With 5–9 tibial (Fig. 42) and 2–4 tarsal saw teeth (Fig. 43). Pretarsal accessory spurs of legs 1–20 very small (Fig. 44).
Distribution
Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Morocco, Iberia, France (incl. Corsica), Ireland, United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Italy (incl. Sardinia and Sicily), Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, FYR Macedonia, Albania, mainland and insular Greece (incl. Crete), Bulgaria, Romania, N-Turkey, Ukraine, European Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan; introduced into United States, Hawaii, Canada, St. Helena; Australia (Tasmania), Christmas Island. Synanthropic in Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland).
Remarks
Cryptops hortensis pauciporus Brolemann, 1908 has no seta in the pore field. Pichler (1987)[6] under Cryptops cf. hortensis described specimens from 1,000–1,300 m in Nordtirol, Austria, without the pronounced longitudinal ventral groove in ultimate prefemur seen in Cryptops hortensis and suggested that further sampling would be required to clarify its status.
