India, Thailand, Sumatra: Jambi Province (new record).
All specimens were collected by canopy fogging in oil palm and rubber monoculture plantations and are considered arboreal.
The male specimen of Epeus tener (Simon, 1877) recorded by Patoleta et al. (2020: fig. 2a–g) from Thailand does not appear to match with the illustration provided by Prószyński (1984: figs 13–15) of a specimen from Java and instead should belong to Epeus albus judging by the shape of the RTA, which has a truncated tip (vs rounded in E. tener).
