A new lapsiine jumping spider from North America, with a review of Simon's Lapsias species (Araneae, Salticidae, Spartaeinae) Author Maddison, Wayne P. text ZooKeys 2019 891 17 29 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.891.38563 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.891.38563 1313-2970-891-17 26724E9CABBB41E985A287021244E574 E45641CF778A5EDE9155B5D9DD2027BD Lapsias ciliatus Simon, 1900 Figs 19-29 Type material. In MNHN Paris, 25 males from Colonia Tovar, Aragua State, Venezuela, most in a single vial with label "21083 Laps. ciliatus E.S., Tovar!" and more recent label "det Szűts 0012". When I received the specimens from the MNHN, one male matching this species was in a separate vial without label except one in Galiano's handwriting reading "Typus? M.E. Galiano II 1959" and another "det Szűts 0013". Insofar as Galiano (1963) indicated she designated a lectotype from the type vial, this specimen can be safely considered that specimen. I have therefore made a copy of the label "21083 Laps. ciliatus E.S., Tovar!" and placed it in that male lectotype's vial. The same applies to a female separated and with only Galiano's label "Allotypus ♀ det. M.E. Galiano II 1959". The vial with most specimens also includes 7 females, which cannot be considered type material because Simon's description makes no mention of females. Notes. The female is illustrated for the first time in Figs 27-29 . The epigynal openings are beneath a common central hood. Although Galiano separated off a female and labelled it as allotype, neither she nor Simon gave any acknowledgement or description of a female of L. ciliatus . The matching of these females to males of L. ciliatus is reasonably secure, even though three species of Lapsias occur at Colonia Tovar. The females of form shown in Figs 27-29 and the males matching the lectotype appear to have been abundant together, judging by the numbers of specimens. Both are larger and more robust, with wider carapaces, than the other two smaller, more delicate species from Colonia Tovar ( L. cyrboides and L. tovarensis ). Both male and female show a faint pale spot just posterior to the PLE. Figures 19-29.
