Originally allocated to the genus Pseudicius, it was moved to its current name by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016.

The male abdomen is black with a pattern of four pairs of white spots, like Pseudicius sengwaensis.

The legs are generally yellow, apart from the front pair on the male, which are brown, longer and stouter.

The male also has a distinctive bulbous shape to its palpal bulb and a longer embolus than related species.

Afraflacilla venustula is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Charles Haddad in 2009.

[4] First circumscribed by Eugène Simon in 1885, the genus is named after two Greek words that can be translated false and honest.

[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.

[12] The copulatory openings lead to wide complex insemination ducts and relatively small spermathecae.

The spider has a distinctive palpal bulb with noticeable bulbous appendages in the middle and a long thin embolus.

For example, the male being distinguished from Afraflacilla altera by the presence of three, rather than two, tibial apophyses, and the female by the way that the pouches on the epigyne are near the central furrow rather than the gonopores.

[17] Jumping spiders rarely use webs and instead use their good eyesight to hunt prey.
