The male is distinguished from other Asemonea species by the serrated edge on its the long and thin femoral apophysis.

Asemonea serrata is a jumping spider that was first described by the Polish arachnologist Wanda Wesołowska in 2001, one of over 500 species she identified during her career.

[1][2] She allocated the species to the genus Asemonea, first raised by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1869.

[4] Molecular analysis demonstrates that the genus is similar to Goleba and Pandisus.

[7] The species itself has a name that is derived from the Latin for saw-toothed and relates to the shape of the femoral apophysis.

The topside is yellow with a black arrow-shaped patch towards the middle and two narrow brown stripes towards the front.

The long and thin femoral apophysis has a serrated edge, after which the species is named.

[1] The holotype was found on Mount Elgon in 1938 at an altitude of 2,275 m (7,464 ft) above sea level.
