Artabrus is a genus of jumping spiders.

This genus resembles Epeus in body shape and eye pattern, but has a different genital structure. It is said to be close to Pseudamycus.[1] A. jolensis might belong to another genus.[2]

Male A. erythrocephalus are about 11 mm long with a yellowish brown carapace and a reddish brown eye area. Females are slightly shorter. This species is found in Singapore, and on Java and Krakatoa.
