Illustrations of male habitus, external morphological characters, male genital including sclerites of the internal sac, and distribution maps for each species are provided. A key to the identification of the Colombian species of Cryptocanthon is also presented. In addition, new distributions records for the species of Colombia are given and the departmental distributions are expanded for: C. altus (Santander), C. foveatus (Santander), C. peckorum (Vichada) and C. humidus (Caquetá, Nariño and Putumayo).
