Recessive epistasis is when the recessive allele of one gene in a homozygous state masks the phenotypic expression of the dominant allele of another gene.
Let's see it this way. In mice, body colour is determined by a gene A. A is hypostatic to an allele c of another gene, which means that c masks the expression of A. C in the presence of a gives cinnamon mice, while C in the presence of A gives agouti mice.
