The male has a distinctive set of spines on its palpal tibia, after which it is named.

It is similar to the related Asemonea cristata but differs in its species range, as the other spider is found in Burma, and its shorter femoral apophysis.

Asemonea virgea is a jumping spider first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Tamás Szűts in 2003.

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

[4][5] Molecular analysis demonstrates that the genus is similar to Goleba and Pandisus.

[8] The species itself has a name that is derived from the Latin for rod and recalls the spines on the palpal tibia.

There is a long furrow on the palpal femur and a femoral apophysis with a pointed end.

The y spin sheet webs on the underside of leaves, where they also lay their eggs.
