Allagelena is a genus of araneomorph spiders, in the family Agelenidae.[1]

Taxonomy

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

As of November 2015, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:[1]

  • Allagelena bistriata (Grube, 1861) – Russia, China
  • Allagelena difficilis (Fox, 1936) – China, Korea
  • Allagelena donggukensis (Kim, 1996) – Korea, Japan
  • Allagelena gracilens (C. L. Koch, 1841) – Central Europe, Mediterranean to Central Asia
  • Allagelena koreana (Paik, 1965) – China, Korea
  • Allagelena monticola Chami-Kranon, Likhitrakarn & Dankittipakul, 2007 – Thailand
  • Allagelena opulenta (L. Koch, 1878) – China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan
