Within the spider fauna of Barrow Island, where this species was initially discovered, Habronestes FP-362 is unique by it's orange-red carapace and leg colouration and the white pattern of lines on the abdomen. The species is very similar to H. bradleyi, but differes in details of its genitalia, for example the tip of the lateral tegular apophysis (LTA) of the male pedipalp is less hooked.
