Summary

Cryphiocrinus Kirk is a genus which may possess a delicate stem, or may lose the stem as an adult, making it essentially eleutherozoic. C. girtyi Kirk, type species, is documented with certainty from Chesterian rocks of Oklahoma and Arkansas for the first time. C. rotundus Kirk is reported from the Renault Formation of Illinois and a possible occurrence in the Pride Mountain Formation of Alabama is noted. The genus has previously been recognized in Chesterian, Upper Mississippian, (Lower Carboniferous), strata exposed in West Virginia, Kentucky and Oklahoma, U.S.A. Possible affinity with Hosieocrinus Wright from the Lower Limestone Group (Visean) in Scotland is discussed.
