This species was first described in 1988 by Ian D. Naumann, from both male (151) and female specimens (162).[1][3] The species epithet, eupepla comes from Greek meaning "well-clothed", and refers to the pubescence on parts of the female.[3]
This species is endemic to New Zealand.[2] where it is found on both North and South Islands.[3]
