In females, the abdomen is wider than long, with a hump or horn on each side, and sometimes a posterior median horn. The pedipalp in males is simple, lacking a conductor or theridioid tegular apophysis.

Theridula spiders are frequently found on bushes or tall grass where they rest on the undersides of leaves near their webs.
