It is generally dark brown in colour, with a lighter brownish orange tint to the rear of the carapace and a white stripe along the body of the abdomen.

It is distinguished from the otherwise similar Plexippus paykulli in the shape of the copulatory ducts in the epigyne and the presence of significant sclerotization around the gonopores.

[6] It was allocated to the subclade Simonida, named in honour of the French arachnologist Eugène Simon.

Long brown bristles mark the carapace near the eyes and can be found scattered along the edge of the abdomen.

[8] The spider differs from the related Plexippus paykulli in having copulatory ducts that wind around and the presence of noticeable sclerotization around the gonopores.

[5] The spider was subsequently also found in both Nwambiya and the Marakele National Park in Limpopo, South Africa.
