This southern South African spider has males with proximal and distal cheliceral projections.
The described male has an ochre-yellow upper front body with brown median and lateral marks. The leg femora and tibiae have dark rings just before their tips.
In March 1989, one male was collected from a web in grass in Zebra National Park near Cradock.
In January 1996, one male was collected from a burrow in Karoo National Park.
The male chelicerae have proximal and distal projections.
Some specimens have a patterned plate beneath the front body, while others have a plain one. The ventral abdominal pattern also varies from indistinct to distinct.
The female genital plate has round pockets set farther apart than in the related S. lotzi.
