The male was identified in 2012 by Wanda Wesołowska and Mario Freudenschuss, and the female by Pir Asmat Ali, Wayne Maddison.
The spider is medium-sized, typically 4.89 millimetres (0.193 in) in length, with a dark brown carapace and grey-brown abdomen that has a distinctive cream and white pattern created by small hairs.
[4] The genus shares some characteristics, including having narrow, oval, fixed embolus, with the genera Hypaeus and Pellenes.
[5] Genetic analysis has shown that the genus is related to the genera Helvetia and Phintella and is classified in the tribe Chrysillini.
[8] Initially, only the male of the species was identified, with the first description of the female being by Pir Asmat Ali, Wayne Maddison.
[10] The female is distinguished from other Menemerus species by the distinctive folds that extend from the broad forward-facing copulatory duct, as shown in Figure 11.
[12] The juvenile male is generally darker in appearance and can be identified by its club-shaped cymbium at the end of its pedipalp.
In 2020, Rafael M. Mariante and David E. Hill identified examples of the species from three sites in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
[17] However, it seems to particularly thrive on the painted and stuccoed walls that can be found in cities like Rio de Janeiro and others across the region.
