Lapsias is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae. [1]
Lapsias, Galianora and Thrandina are informally classified as "lapsiines". These are believed to be basal jumping spiders. While Galianora and Thrandina are sister genera, it is not certain if they form a clade with Lapsias, or if the common characteristics are symplesiomorphic. [2]
Lapsias lorax is typical of the genus, with large eyes and prominent male palps. [3] There is a short video of Lapsias lorax, showing typical jumping spider behavior. [4]
As of April 2022 [update], the World Spider Catalog accepted 12 species: [1]
Lapsias melanopygus Caporiacco, 1947 is considered a doubtful name ( nomen dubium). [1]
