First records of Epeus bicuspidatus and description of a new species of Epeus (Araneae, Salticidae) from Vietnam
In this paper, we present descriptions and illustrations of two jumping spider species of the genus <i>Epeus</i> from Vietnam. <i>Epeus bicuspidatus</i> (Song, Gu & Chen, 1988) is recorded from the country for the first time, while <i>Epeus taybac</i> Vu & Pham, sp. nov., is described here as new to science. These findings improve the current understanding of <i>Epeus</i> diversity in Vietnam, bringing the total number of known species of this genus in the country to six.
