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]
