[1] Lapsias, Galianora and Thrandina are informally classified as "lapsiines".

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).
