For a paleogeographic map with the occurrences of Cretevania species see Peñalver et al. (2010). Note: in the original description of the species C. rubusensis there is a double erratum because the holotype number was referred as CPT- 2260 in the holotype data section and as MPZ 99/ 135 in its two figure captions. The actual accession number for the holotype is CPT-3335.
