Duméril & G. Bibron Erpétologie gén. (1834) I. 354) < crypto- crypto- comb. form + ancient Greek δειρή (Attic δέρη ) neck: see derotremate adj.) + -an suffix.

1997 Systematic Biol. 46 235 These unresolved nodes may represent a rapid radiation of the major cryptodiran lineages 90–120 million years ago.
