It is similar to Hyllus plexippoides, except for its longer seminal ducts and the way that the gonopores are positioned.

Hyllus remotus is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2011.

It was allocated to the genus Hyllus, first raised by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1846, although Wesołowska and Russell-Smith noted that there is uncertainty as the male has not been identified.

[4] Molecular analysis confirms that they are related but the precise relationship between the genera is unknown and species from one genus are sometimes misidentified as members of the other.

[7] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Hyllus was placed in the clade Saltafresia.

It brownish-grey and has a pattern of three white streaks on the top and a thin band down the middle of the underside.

The species is similar to Hyllus plexippoides, although it has longer seminal ducts and the gonopores are positioned differently.
