It belongs to the genus Chrysopilus, which is characterized by metallic coloration derived from delicate scales on the exoskeleton. The specific epithet 'testaceipes' refers to the yellowish-brown (testaceous) coloration of the legs. Like other members of its genus, this species is poorly known biologically, with limited published information on its life history, behavior, or ecology.
