[2] Two subspecies are currently recognised: [3] This species is present in the Palearctic realm, from Europe,[4] Turkey, Caucasus, Afghanistan, and Russia to Kazakhstan and China.

[5][6] These jumping spiders prefers dry habitats, especially the sunny edges of forests with dense vegetation, grass, shrubbery, clearings and sparse woodlands.

Cephalothorax and abdomen are densely covered with brown hairs,[6] without any light or black stripes and spots.

On the abdomen of the males there is sometimes an indistinct drawing of bright oblique spots,[6] similarly to Evarcha arcuata , but the latter has longer white hairs on the face.

Then the male moves down to the side and inserts the pedipalps into the external genital structure of the female (epigyne).
