Lasionectes is a monospecific genus of remipedes in the family Speleonectidae.[1] It is one of two genera in the family, the other being Speleonectes, which was the first genus of remipedes to be described.[2]

The type and only accepted species is Lasionectes entrichoma.[1] A second species, Lasionectes exleyi, was previously assigned to this genus, but has since been moved to its own genus, Kumonga.[1]
