It can be best differentiated by its copulatory organs, particularly the shape of the male tibial apophyses, or appendages, and the arrangement of pouches and openings on the female epigyne.

Afraflacilla altera is a species of jumping spider, a member of the family Salticidae, that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 2000.

[2] She originally allocated the species to the genus Pseudicius, first circumscribed by Eugène Simon in 1885.

[8] A year later, in 2016, Jerzy Prószyński moved the species to the genus Afraflacilla on the basis of the shape of the copulatory organs.

[10] They can be distinguished from other jumping spiders by their flattened and elongated body and characteristic colour patterns.

It is elongated and has a brown topside covered with short hairs and a pattern of six white spots, three on each side.

The spider has a bulbous palpal bulb with a large lump at the bottom and a long thin embolus.

[14] The species is evidentially related to Afraflacilla venustula, the male being distinguished by the presence of two, rather than three, tibial apophyses, and the female by the way that the pouches on the epigyne are near the gonopores rather than the central furrow.

[15] The male is also similar to Afraflacilla arabica, differing in the more bulbous design of the tibial appendages.

[4] The first example to be found in South Africa was collected on the shore of the Shokwe Pan in Ndumo Game Reserve in 2000.
