Stasimopus dreyeri is known only from a female. The carapace is castaneous, appendages are dark, and the opisthosoma is somewhat infuscated over the median area above. Total length is 36 mm.
Conservation
Stasimopus dreyeri is listed as Data Deficient for taxonomic reasons by the South [African National Biodiversity Institute]. The status of the species remains obscure, and more sampling is needed to collect the male and to determine the species' present range. The species is threatened by habitat loss for urbanization and possibly crop farming in the surrounding areas.
Taxonomy
The species was originally described by Hewitt |Hewitt] in 1915 from Kroonstad. The genus has not yet been revised.
