''Cryptaulax'' was introduced by Skuja (Skuja, 1948). He considered it to be a type of cryptomonad. Subsequent studies suggest that it is euglenozoan. Because Skuja had clearly misidentified the flagellate as a cryptomonad, Vørs argued that at least some species should be placed in the genus ''Rhynchobodo''. This thinking was not adopted by Simpson. The genus had been erected by Skuja to accommodate ''Spiromonas akopus'', described by him in 1939.Skuja, H. 1939. Beitrage zur Algenflora Lettlands, 2. Acta Horti. Bot. Univ. Latviensis 11/12 The genus name ''Spiromonas'' had previously been applied to other organisms. This invalidates the name according to the rules of nomenclature, and requires a replacement name - hence ''Cryptaulax''. The similarity of the general morphology of ''C. akopus'' with other species that have been studied in more detail and deemed to be euglenozoan support the argument that the genus is euglenozoan.
