These ant-like spiders are three to five millimeters long. The carapace is flattened. E. raptor males have enlarged first legs, giving them a raptorial appearance.
The genus Rarahu from the same subfamily is rather similar, as is Sobasina (subfamily Synemosyninae).
Name
Efate is an island in the Republic of Vanuatu, where the first specimen was found. The salticid genus Araneotanna is also named after an island of Vanuatu.
