It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1987 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet ''lathrius'' comes from the Greek ''lathrios'' ('hidden' or 'stealthy'), referring to the superficial similarity this species has with ''S. niger'', with which it has been confused.<ref name="harvey1987"/><ref name="afd">{{cite web |url= https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/a6c64f81-ccf7-4ea1-a53f-f6236a8a2cdc|title= Species Synsphyronus lathrius Harvey, 1987|author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2023-10-09|website= Australian Faunal Directory |publisher=Dept of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Australia |access-date=2023-10-25}}</ref> ==Description== The body length of the males is 3.4–3.8 mm; that of females is 3.7–4.6 mm.
