All three described species are only know from males. Simon thought that they were close to Viciria . Judging from the shape of the male palp of E. gracilis, it belongs to the same genus as Epeus , which was split from Viciria in 1984. [1]

Erasinus labiatus was transferred to Portia by Fred R. Wanless in 1978. [2]
