Euprosthenopsis is a genus of African nursery web spiders that was first described by P. Blandin in 1974.
==Description== Euprosthenopsis species have a carapace as wide as long. The anterior lateral eyes are pedunculate, as in Euprosthenops, with the peduncles generally somewhat more detached from the cephalothorax. The base of the median eyes forms a trapezium proportionally larger than in Euprosthenops. The posterior margin of the chelicerae has three teeth.
