The female can be easily distinguished from other congeners by having the sub-linguiform base plate and lacking the concave epigynal structure ( Fig. 3A ), whereas having a square base plate and a pair of lateral concave epigynal structures in others ( Prószyński 1992 : figs 49, 53–54; Lei & Peng 2013 : fig. 8d–e). Etymology The species name is a patronym in honor of Prof. Jerzy Prószyński, who erected the genus Heliophanoides , and has made significant contributions to the taxonomy of salticid spiders worldwide; noun (name) in genitive case.
