Type
species. –
Plexippus erythrocephalus
C. L.
Koch, 1846
, by subsequent designation.
Diagnosis. –
This genus is similar to
Epeus
in body shape and eye pattern, but can be easily distinguished from the latter in genital structure: copulatory ducts short and parallel, not coiled in loops like that of
Epeus
; spermatheca inflated and elliptic; male palp simple, outgrowth of cymbium and auricular outgrowth of palpal bulb absent.
Remarks. –
Artabrus
is a small genus represented by only three species (Prószynski´, 2002), distributed in
Indonesia
,
Philippines
and Gilbert Island. However, judging from the illustrations given by Prószynski´(2002),
Artabrus jolensis
Simon, 1902
, from
Philippines
and
A. planipudens
(
Karsch, 1881
)
from Gilbert Island might belong to other genera.
