It is the copulatory organs that enable the species to be differentiated from the related Hasarinella berlandi, particularly the wider seminal ducts in the female and the oval palpal bulb in the male.

Hasarinella distincta is a jumping spider that was first described by Charles R. Haddad and Wanda Wesołowska in 2013.

[3] The species is named after a Latin word that can be translated distinct, and refers to the male mouthparts.

[5] It is member of the subclade Simonida in the clade Saltafresia, both named in honour of the French arachnologist Eugène Simon.

The abdomen is similar on the top but has white dots forming four lines marking out the black underside.

The spider has a distinctive epigyne with a depression towards the front and a broad pocket surrounded by a relatively deep furrow.

The copulatory openings lead to sclerotized seminal ducts and simple receptacles.

The palpal bulb is oval and lacks the protuberances sign on the tegulum of the other species.
