Description
Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886: 271, 334.
Type species. – Evenus tenera Simon, 1877, by original designation; Zabka, 1985: 214; Peng et al., 1993: 48.
Diagnosis. – The genus is similar to Plexippoides in epigynum with a shallow depression, long copulatory duct forming several loops; palpal organ with outgrowth of cymbium and auricular outgrowth of palpal bulb. However, it differs from the latter in: cephalothorax distinctly tall, outgrowth of cymbium long and located at outside or front of the tibial apophysis, auricular outgrowth at central or back part of the palpal bulb.
Remarks. – Members of this genus are mainly distributed in South-east Asia. Up to now, 11 species have been recorded in the world (Platnick, 2003), not including the new species described in this paper.
