The spider was first described in 2016 by Angelika Dawidowicz and Wanda Wesołowska in 2016, and is distinguished by the large pockets in the female's epigyne.

[5] There are similarities between spiders within genus Phintella and those in Chira, Chrysilla, Euophrys, Icius, Jotus and Telamonia.

[9] The spider was initially described by Angelika Dawidowicz and Wanda Wesołowska in 2016 based on the collection of the Swedish arachnologist Åke Holm.

The species is similar to Phintella aequipes but differs in the design of its copulatory organs.

The female has very large pockets that occupy almost half of the epigyne, which is distinctive for the species.
