Allagelena is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by Z. S. Zhang, Ming-Sheng Zhu & D. X. Song in 2006.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was created in 2006, initially for four Chinese species previously placed in Agelena. The name Allagelena is derived from allo-, different, and the genus name Agelena, so meaning "different from Agelena", specifically in male and female sexual characters.[2] Three further species were later transferred to this genus.[1]
Species
[edit]As of April 2019[update] it contains nine species:[1]
- Allagelena bifida (Wang, 1997) – China
- Allagelena bistriata (Grube, 1861) – Russia (Far East), China
- Allagelena difficilis (Fox, 1936) – China, Korea
- Allagelena donggukensis (Kim, 1996) – Korea, Japan
- Allagelena gracilens (C. L. Koch, 1841) – Europe to Central Asia
