Theridiidae Episinus

"Episinus" sp. "Unicorn"

Unicorn Spider

Though clearly a member of Spintharinae (see above), it is not a real Episinus which typically has a truncated abdomen. Instead, the anterior end of its abdomen is elongated and projects diagonally over the cephalothorax, like "Episinus" sp. B below. Both species are provisionally parked under Episinus until the subfamily is revised.
