Lampona FP-12368 is a small member of the genus Lampona and could not be match to any species illustrated in Platnick (2000). Male and female genitalia are unique within the genus. The female epigyne is probably most similar to that of L. flavipes, but the male pedipalp is very different to that of that species.
