Epiceraticelus is a genus of North American dwarf spiders containing two species: Epiceraticelus fluvialis and Epiceraticelus mandyae. The first described species in the genus, E. fluvialis, was first described by C. R. Crosby & S. C. Bishop in 1931,[1] and has only been found in the Midwestern and Eastern United States. The second species, E. mandyae, was described in 2019 by M. L. Draney et al.[2] and occurs in the Southeastern United States from Eastern New Jersey south to Georgia and west to Louisiana. The male of E. mandyae has a curved proboscis that extends from below the eyes. Epiceraticelus mandyae was named after the late arachnologist, Amanda Howe, in honor of her contributions to the North American arachnology community.[3]
