Argyrodella is a monotypic genus of tangle-web spider, containing only the one species, Argyrodella pusillus.[2] It is endemic to the Seychelles; it can be found on the islands of Mahé and Silhouette. It is found in woodland habitats, where it spins orb webs or is a kleptoparasite of the red-legged golden orb-web spider. It is threatened by habitat deterioration due to invasive plants, especially Cinnamomum verum.
