Though initially classified by South African arachnologist Reginald Frederick Lawrence as part of the gens ''Selenops'' in 1940, it was later transferred to the genus ''Anyphops'' by Belgium, Belgian arachnologist Pierre L.G. Benoit in 1968. Distribution This species is endemic to South Africa, and is found in the Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Western Cape provinces.

Spiders ( order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 50,356 spider species in 132 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been debate among scientists about how families should be classified, with over 20 different classifications proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders (as with all arachnids) differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel, however, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had ...
