Cryptogemma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids.{{WRMS species|432441|Cryptogemma Dall, 1918||14 April 2010}}

Distribution

These are deep-sea species with a wide geographic distribution.

Species

According to Zaccharias et al. (2020) this genus should only include:

The others should be excluded from this genus because the lack key characters such as the narrow fusiform shell and the well-marked peripheral anal sinus. They show closer resemblances to other conoidean families (such as Horaiclavidae) than to Turridae.* [https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02559713/document Zaharias P., Kantor Y.I., Fedosov A.E., Criscione F., Hallan A., Kano Y., Bardin J. & Puillandre N.
