The genus Epileucon Jones, 1956 is redefined on the basis of carapace, pereon and appendage characters. The following species are transferred to Epileucon from the genus Leucon Kroyer, 1846: E. spiniventris (Hansen, 1920), E. longirostris (G. O. Sars, 1871), E. tenuirostris (G. O. Sars, 1887), E. latispina (Jones, 1963) and E. bengalensis (Lomakina, 1967). A lectotype is selected for E. spiniventris . Known Atlantic and Mediterranean species are redescribed, and five new species, E. ensis, E. pusillus, E. craterus, E. socius and E. acclivis , are described. Keys to males and females of the Atlantic and Mediterranean species are provided. The geographical distribution of the group is discussed. The genus is known in deep water (> 200 m) in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea, and also on the continental shelf (at around 100 m depth) off New Zealand.
