The species is named after its discoverer, Stuart Harris, a Canberran vineyard worker and amateur photographer, who first came across the spider in Namadgi National Park in December 2008. Harris posted a photograph of the spider to his Flickr account soon after and it was noticed by spider researcher David Hill.
