Type species
Lachesis perversa Audouin, 1826 from Egypt.
Comments
Lachesana spp. can easily be distinguished from other zodariids occurring in Iran and Turkmenistan by their large size (>10 mm vs. smaller) and numerous spines (>20 on each leg vs. lacking, or <15). So far, out of the eight species known from this genus, four are known solely on the basis of male specimens. Male palps are very similar to one another and differ mostly in the proportions of the tibial apophysis and the bulb.
