Lapsias Simon, 1900: 383 View in CoL ; type species L. estebanensis Simon, 1900: 383 View in CoL .
Note: New genera could be created for L. quimbaya sp. nov., L. tayrona sp. nov. and L. canandea Maddison, 2012 given that their palp conformation is very distinctive from the type species of Lapsias , L. estebanensis Simon, 1900 , and its close relatives L. lorax Maddison, 2012 , L. tovarensis Simon, 1901 , L. cyrboides Simon, 1900 and L. ciliatus Simon, 1900 . However, this differentiation is not clear in females, and epigynes of L. lorax , L. tayrona sp. nov. and L. guamani Maddison, 2012 are all similar. On the other hand, males of L. tequendama sp. nov., L. iguaque sp. nov. and L. walekeru sp. nov. seem to be more related to L. cyrboides and L. ciliatus because they share a robust embolus that arises prolateraly and distally at the bulb. Based on that, it may be prudent to include the five new species described herein in Lapsias to avoid creating uncertainty in the tribe until their phylogenetic relationships are better understood.
