**Cryptomastridae** is a family of armoured harvestmen in the order [Opiliones](/source/Opiliones). There are two genera and four described species in Cryptomastridae, found in Oregon and Idaho.

The members of Cryptomastridae were formerly members of the family [Cladonychiidae](/source/Cladonychiidae).[1][2][3]
