Epeus glorius Żabka, 1985: 216 View in CoL , figs 121–124 (male holotype from Phu Que, Vietnam, deposited in Instytut Zoologii PAN, Warszawa, Poland, not examined); Xie & Peng 1993: 20, figs 5–8; Peng et al. 1993: 49, figs 125–128; Song, Zhu & Chen 1999: 508, figs 291P–Q; Peng & Li 2002: 387, figs 2A–E.

Material examined. CHINA: Chongqing: Mt. Jinyun: 1 ♂, Caijiagou, 29°50′8.1″N, 106°21′39.8″E, Alt. 414 m, 2.VI.2012, L.Y. Wang, D. Wang & X.K. Jiang ( SWUC); 1 ♂, Caijiagou, 24.V.2008, Z.H. Liu & G. Wei ( SWUC); 1 ♀, Caijiagou, 13.VII.2008, C.Q. Wu ( SWUC).

Diagnosis. Males of this species are similar to E. alboguttatus , E. edwardsi , E. furcatus , E. hawigalboguttatus , E. sumatranus and E. tener in having the proximally located tegular apophysis, but this species can be distinguished from all those by the long cymbial apophysis, armed with small serrula on its ventral edge, and the well-developed RTA ( Figs 15–16 View FIGURES 9 – 20 ). Females are similar to E. sumatranus in having the widely separated copulatory openings, but can be distinguished by the presence of two depressions between the copulatory openings and by the relatively thinner and long copulatory ducts ( Figs 17–20 View FIGURES 9 – 20 ).

Description. Male ( Figs 3–4 View FIGURES 1 – 4 , 7 View FIGURES 5 – 8 , 15–16 View FIGURES 9 – 20 ). For detailed description, see Peng & Li (2002).

Ocular quadrangle 1.37 long; anterior eye row 1.80 wide, posterior eye row 1.98 wide.
