The female H. aeneus reaches a length of approximately 6.3mm ("3 lines"), with an opisthosoma width of about 2.1mm (1¼ lines). The general coloration is black, bronze, or copper-coloured with a somewhat matte sheen. The upper front portion of the opisthosoma has a whitish or light reddish border. The walking legs and pedipalps are dark brown with dark yellow markings, while the terminal segments are yellow. [2]
The chelicerae are dark brown and glossy, with fine hairs. The eight eyes are yellow-brown and shiny, arranged as shown in taxonomic figures. The pedipalps are moderately hairy, light or dark brown in colour, with yellow terminal segments. [2]
The cephalothorax is black with fine, forward-pointing black hairs and is entirely covered with bronze or copper-coloured, subdued glossy scales. The chest region is black. [2]
The opisthosoma is elongated and oval-shaped, black in colour, finely covered with black hairs and densely covered with bronze and copper-coloured, subdued glossy scales. At the front base, the scales are whitish or yellowish, forming a light-coloured border that extends to about half the length of the opisthosoma. The abdomen is black. [2]
The legs are sparsely hairy, light or dark brown in colour with light or dark yellowish markings, but the terminal segments are always yellow. [2]
