Five species of Terpsichore A.R. Sm. are combined here under the recently described genus Alansmia M. Kessler, Moguel, Sundue et Labiak: A. acrosora (A. Rojas) A. Rojas, A. cocosensis (A. Rojas) A. Rojas, A. esquiveliana (A. Rojas) A. Rojas, A. fabispora (Copel.) A. Rojas y A. lobulata (A. Rojas) A. Rojas. In each species, the main differences with related taxa are mentioned.
