"Eupoa" is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Originally known only from one species from Vietnam, several other species have been described since 1997, all from China.

Spiders of this genus have unusual pedipalps, and do probably not belong to the Salticoida, the main clade of jumping spiders. It is basal, but placement is not yet clear. Possibly "Eupoa" has branched from other basal groups like Lyssomaninae or Spartaeinae a long time ago. [Maddison "et al." 2007:21]

Specimens of "E. prima" were collected from leaf litterMurphy & Murphy 2000: 292] .

Description

"Eupoa" are small salticids, with "E. prima" only reaching about 2 mm in both sexes. Although not closely related, it looks a bit like "Neon", another litter dwelling species.

The abdomen is dark with light elongate transversal patches.
