The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith.

The female has a mosaic of light dark patches while the male has a pattern of white stripes.

The male has a long thin embolus on its palpal bulb while the female has insemination ducts that have a knotted loop near the top.

Euophrys gracilis is a species of jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2014.

[2] It was one of over 500 species identified by the Polish arachnologist Wesołowska during her career, more than any other contemporary writer and second only to the French archnologist Eugène Simon.

[5] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Euophrys was listed to the tribe Euophryini.

The carapace is slightly darker but otherwise similar to the male, although the eye field is shiny.

It is more rounded and instead has a mosaic pattern of dark and lighter patches that are quite indistinctly contrasted.

[14][15] The male's palpal bulb is similar to the related Euophrys limpopo, but the embolus is longer and has a shorter coil.

The male holotype was discovered in 2003 near Ha Liphapang in Quthing District at an altitude of 1,700 m (5,600 ft) above sea level.

Other examples have been discovered nearby, including near the village of Ha Frans.
