Epitomus
There are currently no described species of Epitomus in North America, although there are at least 4 undescribed species. Along with some Dicaelotus species, Epitomus is the smallest phaeogenin genus in terms of body size.
Sexual dimorphism in Epitomus is pronounced and associating sexes based off of limited material is difficult at best.
