Ephebopus is a genus of northeastern South American tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[2] Its relation to other tarantulas is one of the most uncertain in the family, and it has been frequently moved around and has been placed in each of the eight subfamilies at least once.[3]
