discussion
Remark The description of Epimeria sp. by Andres (1985) is based on two tiny (7 mm) male specimens. It exhibits similarities with E. leukhoplites sp. nov., E. reoproi and E. vaderi, of which the description is based on much larger specimens. It is likely that Andres’ (1985) specimens are juveniles of one of these species.
