Epimer
each of two isomers with different configurations of atoms about one of several asymmetric carbon atoms present.

Anomers
While an epimer is a stereoisomer that differs in configuration at any single stereogenic center, ananomeris a cyclic saccharide and an epimer that differs in configuration, specifically at the hemiacetal/acetal carbon, also called the anomericcarbon.
