Known from Central Asia, males of this spider have a more elevated eye region than the similar Pholcus ponticus.
In the described male, the upper front-body plate is pale ochre-yellow, with a central brown mark divided by a narrow median line.
In September 1983 at Arkit village, Kyrgyzstan, two females and a juvenile were collected indoors.
In September of the same year at Bash-Kyzyl-Sai Canyon, Uzbekistan, males and females were collected indoors, and one male was collected on a creek bank.
Its underside front-body plate is light brown with many small pale spots. The abdomen is unpatterned ochre-gray.
Each eye group of the described male stands on a low additional elevation. In examined females, the eye groups are closer together than in males.
The male eye region is more elevated than in the similar Pholcus ponticus.
