The males of this species frontally look very similar to Pellenes lapponicus and to Hasarius adansoni. In males the basic color of the hairy body is black, with a white longitudinal stripe on the middle of the opistosoma and a bright red mask on the eyes. The color of the opistosoma may be black or dark brownish. The pedipalps have whitish tips, while the legs are wholly black. In the females the red mask is missing. These spiders have eight eyes with very large anterior median eyes and smaller on each side. Their eyesight is excellent.
