Agelena
Agelena is a genus of agelenid spiders first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805. 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''. ''Agelena limbata'' is one of the most common web-weaving spider species in Japan. Species , the World Spider Catalog accepted 46 species: *'' Agelena annulipedella'' Strand, 1913 — Central Africa *''Agelena atlantea'' Fage, 1938 — Morocco *'' Agelena australis'' Simon, 1896 — South Africa *'' Agelena babai'' Tanikawa, 2005 — Japan *'' Agelena barunae'' Tikader, 1970 — India *'' Agelena borbonica'' Vinson, 1863 — Réunion *'' Agelena canariensis'' Lucas, 1838 — Canary Is., Morocco, Algeria *'' Agelena chayu'' Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005 — China *'' Agelena choi'' Paik, 1965 — Korea * ...

Agelena Labyrinthica
''Agelena labyrinthica'' is a species of spider in the family Agelenidae. It is a widespread species in Europe. Range and habitat ''Agelena labyrinthica'' build flat plate surface webs connected to funnel-shaped retreats similar to labyrinths, which are typically constructed between low lying grass and vegetation. These webs can be at ground level, or up to from the ground, however, the majority are found approximately off of the ground. These spiders are fairly common in Europe and Central Europe, and are typically concentrated in areas near forests and low lying vegetation, as well as in dry grasslands. Description Funnel-web spiders typically range in size from for males and for females. ''Agelena labyrinthica'', however, has a body length of up to . The abdomen is dark with a pale central band flanked by white chevron marks. The cephalothorax is yellow-brown and bears two, broad longitudinal stripes positioned towards the front of the spider.

Agelena Consociata
''Agelena consociata'' is a social species of funnel web spider that occurs in tropical forests in West Africa and lives in colonies of one to several hundred individuals. This species is found in rainforest habitats in Gabon. It favors dense forests along creeks where colonies can build huge complex webs. Description Male and female spiders are similar in size but there are fewer males than females. This spider is a dull brown colour with two broad lateral grey stripes. The legs are banded in brown and black. Both body and legs are covered with short hairs. Sociality Most spider species are highly competitive and territorial, so observing sociality in certain species is rare. Because of this, it can often provide insight into the evolution of sociality. It has been proposed that sociality evolved from a subsocial spider species through the acquisition of three main behavioral traits: postmating dispersal, inbreeding, and cooperative care of offspring.

Agelenidae
The Agelenidae are a large family of spiders in the suborder Araneomorphae. Well-known examples include the common "grass spiders" of the genus ''Agelenopsis''. Nearly all Agelenidae are harmless to humans, but the bite of the hobo spider (''Eratigena agrestis'') may be medically significant, and some evidence suggests it might cause necrotic lesions, but the matter remains subject to debate. The most widely accepted common name for members of the family is funnel weaver. Description The body length of the smallest Agelenidae spiders are about , excluding the legs, while the larger species grow to long. Some exceptionally large species, such as ''Eratigena atrica'', may reach in total leg span. Agelenids have eight eyes in two horizontal rows of four. Their cephalothorax, cephalothoraces narrow somewhat towards the front where the eyes are. Their abdomens are more or less oval, usually patterned with two rows of lines and spots. Some species have longitudinal lines on the dorsa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
