It is similar to the related Plexippus paykulli that can also be found in the same country, but can be distinguished by features like the elongated almost vase-like shape of the sternum and lack of tibial apophysis on the palpal bulb.

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

It is broad, particularly towards the middle, and has a pattern consisting of a black band and a white cross towards the back.

The palpal bulb has no tibial apophysis, which is different to the similar and related Plexippus paykulli.

It was one of only two species of the genus, the other being Plexippus paykulli, to be identified in the country, listed at the same time and by the same authors.
