"Platycryptus" is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders). Established in 1979, its name is preoccupied by a generic name for geline wasps described by Kriechbaumer in 1893. Though Kriechbaumer's Platycryptus is nowadays generally included in Ethelurgus (described by Arnold Förster in 1869), junior synonyms that are senior homonyms still overrule junior homonyms, except when explicitly ruled otherwise by the ICZN.
