[5] When the spider was later described scientifically as Euophrys omnisuperstes, it was found to be the same species as specimens collected by T. G. Longstaff in 1922 (i.e. before Hingston's observations in 1924) around the Everest base camp, at the lower altitude of 5,000 m (16,500 ft).

The delay was partly because the specimens Hingston collected in 1924 were immature; precise identification of most spiders depends on the genitalia of mature adults.

[6] Euophrys omnisuperstes is found in a small area of the Nepalese Himalayas, on Mount Everest and Makalu, close to the border with Tibet.

[6] Euophrys omnisuperstes does not show any obvious adaptations for survival in the extreme conditions of high mountains, being similar to jumping spiders living in more temperate environments.

[6] Swan noted that daytime temperatures at high elevations can actually be higher than lower down, because of the reduction in cloud cover and the thinness of the atmosphere.

[5] Wanless speculated that jumping spiders' habit of spinning silken cells, in this case beneath rocks, might account for their ability to survive freezing temperatures.

[8] A female jumping spider found in the Dooars region of the Indian state of West Bengal was identified as E. omnisuperstes in 2014, thus extending the distribution to India and to a much lower altitude.

[10] As of September 2017[update], the World Spider Catalog notes Prószyński's view, recording the distribution of E. omnisuperstes as "Nepal, India?".
