Line 24:
The male spider's abdomen is typically {{convert|1.8|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} long and {{convert|1.2|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} wide. It is also blackish-brown on top with a pattern of white hairs forming a streak along the front edge and a band across the middle broken up by large spots to the rear. The underside is dark and has a marking of pale dots making up four lines grey. The [[spinneret]]s are dark too. It has dark brown [[Arthropod leg|legs]] that have hairs and spines that are mainly dark brown, although a few of the hairs are lighter.{{sfn|Wesołowska|Haddad|2013|page=196}}
The male's copulatory organs are distinctive. The [[pedipalp]]s, sensory organs near the mouth, are dark brown. The [[Cymbium (spider anatomy)|cymbium]] is hairy. The [[palpal bulb]] is rounded and bulbous with a large bulging protrusion at its base and a sharp [[Embolus (spider anatomy)|embolus]] projecting from the top of the bulb. The palpal tibia has a cluster of long hairs and a long protrusion, or tibial [[Apophysis (spider)|apophysis]] that has a flattened end and a tooth sticking out near the bottom. The spider is similar to the related ''[[Evarcha vittula]]'' but can be distinguished by the shape of the tibial apophysis and the T-shaped marking on its abdomen.{{sfn|Wesołowska|Haddad|2013|page=196}}{{sfn|Prószyński|2018|page=154}}
The female is slightly larger in size to the male, with a cephalothorax that is between {{convert|2.4|and|2.5|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} long, and {{convert|1.8|and|1.9|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} wide and an ovoid abdomen that is between {{convert|3.1|and|3.4|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} in length and {{convert|2.5|and|2.7|mm|in|abbr=on|2}} in width.{{sfn|Haddad|Wesołowska|2013|page=469}} The carapace is high and brown. There are blackish areas and white patches near the eyes, the hairs that form the latter radiating in lines down the slopes of the carapace. The underside is light brown on top and light brown underneath.
