Allagelena is a genus of Asian funnel weavers first described by Z. S. Zhang, Ming-Sheng Zhu & D. X. Song in 2006.[2]
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]
