[4] In 2015, Wayne Maddison placed it in the subtribe Aelurillina within the tribe Aelurillini, which is itself in the clade Saltafresia.

[5] It was subsequently grouped with nine other genera of jumping spiders under the name Aelurillines two years later in 2017.

[7] The abdomen is narrower than other species in the genus, and is black with three distinctive shining stripes.

[8] The shape of the abdomen differs from other species of Stenaelurillus, which are typically oblong.

[14] The holotype for the species was found in the Borgu Game Reserve in Kwara State in 1973.
