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

[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.

The spider's abdomen is brown on top with an indistinct yellowish leaf-shaped pattern slightly visible in the middle.

The palpal bulb has a distinctive arrangement of two tibial appendages, or apophyses, that are both short and stumpy, one smaller than the other.

The abdomen is larger and slightly darker with a faint stripe on the top and silver patches on its underside.

[18] The female slightly resembles Menemerus formosus, but differs in the existence of the two epigynal depressions, and the male 'Menemerus magnificus, which can be differentiate by its longer embolus and the shape of its tibial apophysis.

[19] Menemerus spiders are found throughout Africa and Asia, and have been identified as far as Latin America.

The male holotype was found in 1988 in a house in Addis Ababa at an altitude of 2,400 m (7,900 ft) above sea level.
