Kryptonesticus is a genus of European scaffold web spiders first described by Pavlek & Ribera in 2017, based around the newly described type species Kryptonesticus deelemanae and seven species transferred from genus Nesticus.[2] In 2018, an additional species, K. georgescuae, was described from two female specimens from Romania.[3]
With the exception of K. eremita, individual species have very restricted ranges.[2]
