This male shows certain microscopic characteristics in its palps are that consistent with the male palps of typical Parasteatoda. Like P. tepidariorum. the type species (designated representative) of the genus, it has a high clypeus. However not all Parasteatoda males possess this feature. The males of Dipoena and Physocoma and some "Theridion" do have a high clypeus but they differ from Parasteatoda in their respective palpal structure.
