Remarks
Most authors treat Endria montana as a junior synonym of E. lassa. However, there are separate barcode clusters for Endria lassa restricted California and Endria lassa in the mountain-prairie region (which was initially described as Polyamia montanus). Here, we reject the synonymy used by most authors and treat Endria montana as distinct.
"Note that the boundaries of Amplicephalus and Endria are unclear; Amplicephalus is probably not monophyletic and some species sometimes placed in Endria (micaria, nebulosa, and trilobata) may not belong there. E. nebulosa was placed in Amplicephalus by Kramer, although this has not been followed in most of the literature." (Joel Kits pers. comm. to Solomon Hendrix)
