Informal group of genera LAPSIINES

Remarks. Poorly known South American genus Lapsias Simon, 1900 was included by Simon (1901-1903) into Astieae. Some considerations contributed recently by Maddison (2012, 2015: 237), Ruiz & Maddison (2012) and other, concentrate on phylogeny, giving little attention to identification by morphology.
Mutual diagnostic characters of genera included. Ask Maddison.
Palp of Lapsias estebanensis and Lapsamita maddisoni do not seem to fit Lapsias canandea, so are spermathecae of these species, eyes II of Thrandina parocula are relatively large, closer to eyes I and moved closer to main body axis.

Type species Thrandina parocula (3 recognizable species).

REMARKS. Genus originally placed in Lapsiinae by Maddison 2006. There are some tentative resemblances to SPARTAEINES in shape of spermathcae and general shape of male palps, in spite of presence of prominent tegular apophysis. Grouping of eyes and size of PME resembles Brettus and some other genera. No representative of SPARTAEINES was ever found in Western Hemisphere. (J. Prószynski, 2014-X-31).
A-E - Thrandina parocula, F - Thrandina cosanga.
