The abdomen is yellowish-fawn with a dark pattern that is reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis and more rounded than other spiders in the genus.

Otherwise, it is externally similar to Menemerus plenus, although it can be distinguished by its copulatory organs.

The male has a double embolus and two large parallel retrolateral apophyses, or appendages.

Menemerus pulcher is a species of jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 1999.

[1] It was one of over 500 species identified by the Polish scientist during her career, the most prolific describer in modern arachnology.

[6] Genetic analysis has shown that the genus Menemerus 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.

[12] It has a distinctive pattern including a russet stripe and dark shapes that look a bit like a fleur-de-lys overlaid on a bell and wavy lines.

[17] The copulatory organs, however, are distinctive, particularly the existence of the two large parallel retrolateral apophyses.

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