Although only the female has been identified, it is clear that the spider's copulatory organs are distinctive, including the existence of a deep pocket in its epigyne and its bean-shaped spermathecae.

Evarcha zougoussi is a species of jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2022.

[1] It was one of over 500 species identified by the Polish arachnologist Wesołowska during her career, making her one of the most prolific in the field.

[2] Despite reservations, mainly due to the unusually large size of the spider, they allocated it to the genus Evarcha rather than Hyllus.

[4] First circumscribed by Eugène Simon in 1902, Evarcha is one of the largest genera of jumping spiders, with members found on four continents.

[6] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Evarcha was moved to the subtribe Plexippina.

The spider's body is divided into two main parts: a rather rounded oval cephalothorax and an ovoid abdomen that is shaped more like a tear-drop.

[1] Evarcha spiders live across the world, although those found in North America may be accidental migrants.

[4] The village is situated in the Lamto study area, which is about 180 km (110 mi) north of Abidjan at the edge of the savanna.
