[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 is related to the genera Helvetia and Phintella.

[9] In 2016, Jerzy Prószyński created a group of genera named Menemerines after the genus.

[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 typically 2.1 mm (0.08 in) long and very light, yellowish with a pattern of a faint fawn stripe barely visible on the top.

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

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