Taxonomy

The species was first described as Maevia gemmans by Tamerlan Thorell in 1890 in Diagnoses aranearum aliquot novarum in Indo-Malesia inventarum,^[1] based on a male specimen from Sumatra collected by Odoardo Beccari in 1878, which is now stored at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova.^[3] In 1955, Carl Friedrich Roewer transferred the species to the genus Cosmophasis.^[1]
