Agelena
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Agelena is a genus of agelenid spiders first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805.[1] Sometimes referred to as Eurasian grass spiders, they trap their prey by weaving entangling non-sticky funnel webs. They are limited to the Old World, occurring from Africa to Japan. Many species have been moved to other genera, particularly to Allagelena, Benoitia and Mistaria.[2]
