First described by Beccari (1890) as Sciaphila arfakiana on page 337, one page earlier than S. crinita, to which it is synonymous according to van de Meerendonk (1984). S. arfakiana is used by Tsukaya & Okada (2013), when providing a key for the Sciaphila species in Borneo. Accepted also by the online checklist of Govaerts, Maas-van de Kamer and Maas (2016, search for Triuridaceae). Some reasoning on the acceptance vs. rejection of the genus Andruris is given on pages (Sciaphila nana and Sciaphila wariana).
