Cryptobalistes is an extinct genus of triplespine that lived during the early Oligocene epoch.^[2] It contains a single species, C. brevis that inhabited the seas around what is now Canton Glarus, Switzerland. It is thought to be closely allied with another triplespine from Glarus, Acanthopleurus. Cryptobalistes, Acanthopleurus, and Protacanthodes are thought to be basal members of the Triacanthidae.^[1]^[3]^[4]
