The species was first described in 2014 as Melloleitaoina yupanqui.[1] The specific name yupanqui is in honour of Atahualpa Yupanqui, a famous musician and a synonym of Héctor Aramburu.[2] In 2019, it was transferred to the genus Tmesiphantes.[1]
Tmesiphantes yupanqui has a very curved embolus with no triangular spine, and a discontinued prolateral superior keel (still on the embolus) which separates into two keels. The female spermathecae are short and with large granules.[2]
