It can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the pattern on its abdomen, which consists of two lines of white patches that converge to the back of the spider.

The male has a distinctive relatively wide and short embolus and lamella and two similar appendages at the base of the palpal bulb, or apophyses.

The female has a complex internal structure of the epigyne including crescent-shaped chambers and circular spermathecae.

[6] Genetic analysis has shown that the genus Menemerus is related to the genera Helvetia and Phintella.

[10] The vast majority of the species in Menemerines are members of the genus, with additional examples from Kima and Leptorchestes.

[12] The carapace is dark brown, nearly black, and has a patch formed of white hairs in the middle and two streaks on the sides.

The spider's abdomen is dark brown on top with an indistinct pattern of light patches that is covered in brownish hairs.

[13] The insemination ducts complex in shape, wide with characteristic curves and parallel crescent-shaped chambers.

[14] The abdominal pattern helps to identify the species, but a study of the copulatory organs is needed to confirm it.

[16] For example, the embolus is noticeably shorter than the other species and the two apophyses are closer in shape than those on Menemerus modestus, which is otherwise the closest in design.

They attack using a complex approach to their prey and are generally more proactive in comparison to web-spinning spiders.

[1] The male holotype was found near Asni in the High Atlas mountains, at an altitude of 1,300 m (4,300 ft) above sea level in 1977.
