Platycryptus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by D. E. Hill in 1979.[2] The name comes from the Greek platy meaning flat and crypt meaning hidden, as these spiders are squat and will frequently hide in crevices.[2] They have hairy bodies with a cryptic gray and brown color pattern. They live on or under the bark of trees, and can be found on man-made wooden structures.[3]
