The male has a distinctive coloration with bright orange scales covering the clypeus and eye field and vivid orange hairs on the back half of the abdomen, which are recalled by the species name.

Asemonea cuprea is a jumping spider first described by the Polish arachnologist Wanda Wesołowska in 2009, one of over 500 species she identified during her career.

[7] The species is closely related to Asemonea maculata, particularly in the structure of the male genitalia.

The species name is derived from the Latin for copper and relates to the coloration of the male.

It is generally yellow, but the clypeus and eye field have a covering of bright orange scales.

The labium is pale yellow and the chelicerae have two small teeth visible at the front and three at the back.

The palpal femur has a short furrow down the middle and a large corkscrew apophysis, or spike-like appendage.

Internally, the structure is simple with long thin seminal ducts leading to nearly-spherical receptacles.

It also has a long dorsal spike on its palpal tibia and an unusual right-angle shaped subtegulum.

The holotype and paratype of the species were found in Wildlives Game Farm near the Choma in 2006.

[8] This wide range is unusual for the genus, as most species are only found in one locality, although this may be related to the lack of observed examples reported.
