Four new species of the orb-weaving spider genus Alpaida O. P.-Cambridge, 1889 from Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil are illustrated and described based on males and females from the following municipalities: Alpaida imperatrix new species (Macaé and Rio de Janeiro); Alpaida imperialis new species (Mendes and Rio de Janeiro); Alpaida marista new species (Mendes and Pinheiral); and Alpaida mendensis new species (Mendes). Furthermore, two new synonymies are herein proposed: Alpaida lanei Levi, 1988 = Alpaida atomaria (Simon, 1895) and Alpaida caxias Levi, 1988 = Alpaida tijuca Levi, 1988, alongside new records for both species and also Alpaida venger Castanheira Baptista, 2015.
基于来自巴西里约热内卢州以下市镇的雄性和雌性蜘蛛，对圆蛛属阿尔派达蛛属（Alpaida O. P.-Cambridge，1889）的四个新物种进行了图示和描述：帝王阿尔派达蛛新种（马卡埃和里约热内卢）；帝国阿尔派达蛛新种（门德斯和里约热内卢）；玛丽斯塔阿尔派达蛛新种（门德斯和平埃拉伊）；以及门德阿尔派达蛛新种（门德斯）。此外，本文还提出了两个新的同义关系：1988年的莱内阿尔派达蛛（Alpaida lanei Levi）=1895年的阿托马里亚阿尔派达蛛（Alpaida atomaria (Simon)），以及1988年的卡西亚斯阿尔派达蛛（Alpaida caxias Levi）=1988年的蒂茹卡阿尔派达蛛（Alpaida tijuca Levi），同时还给出了这两个物种以及2015年的温格阿尔派达蛛（Alpaida venger Castanheira Baptista）的新记录。
