Diagnosis . Gladicosa euepigynata is closest to G. pulchra in size 
and coloration (compare Fig. 3 with Fig. 4). The epigynum of 
euepigynata (Figs. 15-17) and the palpus (Figs. 43-46) distinguish it 
from pulchra and all other species of Gladicosa. 
Natural History. Montgomery (1904) reported this species as 
being abundant near Austin, Texas. There he found it under stones 
near water. Males were most numerous in January. 
Distribution. South central Texas (Map 3).
