Stenaelurillus kavango

Only the female has been described. The spider is small and has an overall shape that is typical for the genus. The cephalothorax is typically 2.8 mm (0.11 in) long and 2.5 mm (0.098 in) wide, while the abdomen is 3.1 mm (0.12 in) long and 2.4 mm (0.094 in) wide. The spider has an almost oval carapace and abdomen. The dark brown carapace is covered with hair and has two lateral white streaks with two more crossing the thorax. The abdomen is brown-black with a light coloured stripe across the middle. The chelicerae and legs are light brown. The eye field is very short and black covered in dense brown bristles and thick short setae. Some of the eyes are circled with short white hairs. The epigyne is oval and has central copulatory openings. The epigyne is larger than the otherwise similar Stenaelurillus latibulbis but has bean-shaped spermathecae. It also very similar to the species Stenaelurillus furcatus and Stenaelurillus guttiger, distinguished only by the shape and proportions of the insemination ducts and primary spermathecae.

The species is endemic to Namibia. The holotype was identified in the Kavango Region based on a specimen collected in 1984. It is known only from that local area.
