[1][2] It represents one of around 50 non-native spider species that have become established in Britain, likely facilitated by global warming providing an increasingly hospitable climate.

The specific name milesae honours Claire Miles (1958–2023), a former honorary curator at the Manchester Museum where the holotype is kept.

[2] Logunov provisionally assigned the species to the genus Anasaitis, based on the diagnostic features of the genitalia of the two sexes.

Its palpal bulb has a relatively long tibial apophysis with a small tooth-like bump at the base.

The female is a similar colour to the male, but paler; the first pair of legs are entirely yellow rather than having partially brown sides.
