This name comes from the adjective ‘gurgul’ meaning black in Wulguru (indigenous language of the Townsville area), chosen because of the black colouration of the spider’s cuticle.

Male chelicerae protrude, but are only about half the length of the carapace, containing one retromarginal tooth at the proximal end, and three at the distal end. The tibial segment of the palp is shorter than the width at its proximal end; the flange is well-developed and the tibial apophysis is black, sinuous and relatively large. The diameter of the tegulum is approximately four-fifths the length of the cymbium. The female epigyne has oval-shaped spermathecae and a continuous median pouch.
