However, it can be generally identified by the strongly sclerotized cups in the female epigyne and the male's longer embolus.

The genus name is described by Wanda Wesołowska and Beata Tomasiewicz as an arbitrary arrangement of letters.

[3] Medium-sized to large, the spiders resemble Hyllus, but differs in the design of the copulatory organs.

Previously termed Plexippeae, by Eugène Simon in 1901, this tribe is part of the clade Saltafresia.

The pedipalps are dark with a round tegulum and straight appendage, or apophysis, attached to the tibia and extending from the palpal bulb.

The epigyne has marked sclerotization, with are two widely spaced depressions and a broad pocket visible on it.

It can be distinguished by its longer embolus and the strongly sclerotized cups in the female that hide the gonopores.

[4] It has been confused with the related Nigorella plebeja, with examples of this species being initially incorrectly allocated.

[11] The holotype was collected from the Sengwa Wildlife Research Area in Zimbabwe in 2001 by Meg Cumming.
