Anepsion
Anepsion are distinctive small orb-weaving spiders with a raised head region and a generally somewhat flattened, oval or rhomboid abdomen with distinct colour patterns generally of dark spots on a light surface.
The genus has not been revised for Australia, but Chrysanthus (1961, 1969, 1971) provided detailed treatments of species from South-east Asia, some also known from Australia.
