03A587AD0E58FF8DFDE31C08FAE56C23.taxon	description	Description of male types (Figure 1). Male holotype: Carapace high and elevated with posterior slope, pale yellow (orange in life), with a row of erect black setae at the rear of the eye region, between the PLE. Chelicerae dark brown, with long setae on the front side; promargin with two teeth and retromargin with one tooth. Endites brown, scopulate, with pale yellow margins. Labium brown, covered with setae. Sternum sub-pentagonal, longer than wide. Opisthosoma narrow, tapering toward the rear to about half of its width, orange on the anterior third and black on the posterior two-thirds, with a pair of narrow, white dorsolateral stripes that may be indistinct (Figures 1.1, 1.3). Venter black, with a pair of yellowish dotted lines medially and laterally. Spinnerets black, covered with paler setae. Legs long and slender, bearing both light-colored and black setae; legs dark red-brown. A row of long spines extends dorsally from the dorsal surface of each femur. Pedipalp (Figures 1.2, 1.4 - 1.8) dark brown with cover of long, pale yellow setae; RTA short, stout, distolaterally directed with a truncated tip (Figure 1.8); cymbium long, nearly triangular, covered with white and black setae; cymbial apophysis very short and pointed, unlike most other Epeus that tend to have a long cymbial apophysis; tegulum with a short, tongue-shaped lobe emerging near the proximal margin; embolus very thin and long, originating near the eight o’clock position with respect to the tegulum and extending to the distal end of the cymbium. The distal part of the cymbium containing the cymbial groove is relatively long. The paratype is similar to the holotype. Description of female type (Figure 2). Female holotype: Eye region light red-brown, with an off-white median stripe. Body mostly pale yellow or off-white, with a dark brown or black middorsal stripe on the opisthosoma, flanked by a pale yellow band, and then by a pair of elongated dark brown bands on either side of the opisthosoma — flat along the outer edge and wavy along the inner edge, with a distinct pattern (Figures 2.1 - 2.2). The legs are mostly off-white and translucent, with indistinct light-brown banding. Epigyne (Figures 2.3 - 2.4) with widely separated, crescent-shaped copulatory openings separated by a square-shaped median area; copulatory ducts very long with multiple loops, four at the rear and one that is wider, extending forward and medially on either side to an expanded copulatory opening.	en	Tam, Truong Van, Hill, David E.
