Abstract
This paper provides the re-description of Epeus albus Prószynski, 1992, with the first description of its male. Additionally, Epeus chilapataensis (Biswas & Biswas, 1992) is synonymised with E. albus and a new taxonomic combination is proposed: Epeus khandalaensis (Tikader, 1977) comb. nov. (ex Phidippus). Clarification on the record of Epeus daiqini Patoleta, Gardzińska & Żabka, 2020 from India is provided. The current distribution of the genus in India is also mapped.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematics and Evolution, formerly Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, is an international, open access, peer-reviewed life science journal devoted to whole-organism biology. It publishes original research and review articles in the field of Metazoan taxonomy, biosystematics, evolution, morphology, development and biogeography at all taxonomic levels. The journal''s scope encompasses primary information from collection-related research, taxonomic descriptions and discoveries, revisions, annotated type catalogues, aspects of the history of science, and contributions on new methods and principles of systematics. Articles whose main topic is ecology, functional anatomy, physiology, or ethology are only acceptable when of systematic or evolutionary relevance and perspective.
