Name
The describers state that the genus name is an arbitrary combination of letters. The specific name exilis is Latin for "slender", referring to the spider's body shape.[2]
Appearance
This spider is only 3 mm long and very flat. In general appearance it resembles Pseudicius. Only the female has been found.[2]
