Masked Long-palped Crab Spider
This unidentified Epidius, represented by a single adult specimen with right legs II and IV missing, is photographed for the first time. The female spider differs remarkably from all described Epidius female spiders by having a chestnut brown "face-mask" and dark brown legs I & II (with pale banded tibiae).
