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]
