She originally placed the species in the genus Pseudicius, but Jerzy Prószyński moved it in 2017 to Afraflacilla on the basis of shape of its copulatory organs.

The carapace is a dark brown elongated oval with a black eye field covered in white hairs.

The abdomen is blackish-brown and is marked by two pairs of white patches and a small number of faint chevrons at the very rear.

Some female examples have a generally featureless dark abdomen and others have additional small rounded patches at the edge.

Afraflacilla roberti is a jumping spider that was first described by the Polish arachnologist Wanda Wesołowska in 2011.

[3] The genus name is related to two Greek words that can be translated false and honest.

[4] The genus was provisionally placed alongside Icius that, despite looking superficially similar, has a different etymology.

[5][6] Indeed, Ekaterina Andreeva, Stefania Hęciak and Jerzy Prószyński looked to combine the genera in 1984.

[7] The two genera have similar spermathecal structure but work by Wayne Maddison in 1987 demonstrated that they have very different DNA.

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

It has an elongated oval, flat and dark brown carapace with a black eye field.

The front legs are longer, stouter and brown with a thick tibia that has two visible spines.

The copulatory openings lead, via coiled insemination ducts, to large elongated spermathecae.
