It is a very small spider, with a cephalothorax that measures typically 0.9 mm (0.04 in) long and a abdomen that is between 0.8 and 1.3 mm (0.03 and 0.05 in) long, only slightly larger than the related Opathe Tanzania Jumping Spider.

The male has a short wide embolus that corkscrews out of the top of the oval palpal bulb and ends in a forked tip.

The female has a large epigyne and oval spermathecae at the end of short seminal ducts.

[2] They allocated it to the genus Tanzania first circumscribed by Ahmet Ö. Koçak and Muhabbet Kemalin in 2008.

[5] The species is named for a Latin word that can be translated 'striped', and refers to the pattern on its abdomen.

[6] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Tanzania was placed in the tribe Euophryini [7] This is a member of the clade Saltafresia.

[9] Junxia Zhang and Maddison speculated that it may be in a clade with Thyenula but that relationship has not been confirmed.

It is dark yellow with a brown streak down the middle and small brownish marks on the slope at the back.

There is a meandering sperm duct inside the bulb and a relatively short fat embolus that corkscrews out of the top, ending in a forked tip.

The copulatory openings lead to short seminal ducts and oval spermathecae, or receptacles.
