Lapsias is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae . ^[1]

Phylogeny [ edit ]

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]

Description [ edit ]

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]
