Lapsias tovarensis Simon, 1901 Figs 41-51

Type material.

In MNHN, three males from Colonia Tovar, Aragua State, Venezuela, with label "21092 Laps. tovarensis E.S., Tovar!". Galiano (1963) designated one male as lectotype, in separate microvial with her label "Typus? M.E. Galiano II 1959".

Notes.

This is one of the two smaller-bodied species from Colonia Tovar. See the discussion under L. estebanensis for how to distinguish it from that species, and the discussion under L. cyrboides regarding the identity of the female.
