Evarcha zimbabwensis has a body that is divided into two main parts: a cephalothorax and an abdomen. The male has a high carapace, the hard upper part of the cephalothorax, that is between 2.3 and 2.7 mm (0.09 and 0.11 in) long and between 1.8 and 2.1 mm (0.07 and 0.08 in) wide. It is high and brownish with darker edges. The eye field is dark brown with a scattering of fawn hairs on it and slightly lighter areas towards the front. There are black areas and small fawn scales around the eyes themselves. There are brown hairs on the thorax. The underside of the cephalothorax, or sternum, is yellow. The spider's face, or clypeus, is dark brown as are its mouthparts, including the chelicerae, labium and maxillae. The male spider's abdomen is narrower than its carapace, measuring between 2.3 and 2.6 mm (0.10 in) mm in length and 1.5 and 1.9 mm (0.06 and 0.07 in) in width. It is greyish-brown on top with a lighter pattern and has a covering of brown and greyish hairs. The underside is darker. It has greyish-brown spinnerets. The spider's legs are mainly dark brown with brown leg hairs and spines. There are orange sections on the foremost legs and yellow parts on the others. The pedipalps are brown with a covering of dense white hairs. The male copulatory organs are distinctive. The cymbium is rounded and convex. The palpal bulb is similar in size but has a large bulbous end. …

Evarcha spiders live across the world, although those found in North America may be accidental migrants. Evarcha zimbabwensis has been found in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The holotype was discovered in 2005. The spider was first seen in Zimbabwe but was later discovered lining in the Silaka Nature Reserve in South Africa. It is ground-dwelling and lives in coastal forests.
