The female also has distinctive copulatory organs, including an epigyne with two small depressions, the rims of which form a shield over the gonopores.

[5] It is particularly closely related to the genus Aelurillus, after which the subtribe, tribe and group are named.

The different Langona species generally cannot be distinguished from each other or from other members of the group by either their colours or the patterns that appear on their bodies, but by the structure of the copulatory organs.

It is low and oval, and two parallel lines of white setae run from the back of the eyes all the way to the end of the carapace.

The head is black and the thorax dark brown, and the whole is covered in very small grey hairs.

[7][9] It is lighter in colour, with a grey abdomen that has a single light stripe with a dark border.

[11] It has distinctive accessory glands that protrude from the main copulatory organs and give them a more complex appearance.

It closely resembles the related Langona improcera, but the palpal bulb is wider and the rearmost lobe smaller.

The female is similar to other species in the genus, the obvious accessory glands being the most distinctive feature.

[1] The holotype was found in 1989 in Central Karoo, Western Cape, 25 kilometres (16 mi) east of Prince Albert.
