Lasaeola is a genus of comb-footed spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1881.[3] The type species was described under the name Pachydactylus pronus,[4] but was renamed Lasaeola prona when it was discovered that the name "Pachydactylus" was preoccupied.[3] Both this genus and Deliana were removed from the synonymy of Dipoena in 1988,[5] but many of these species require more study before their placement is certain.[1]
