Ageniella agenioides
(Fox, 1893)
Ageniella agenioides is a of in the . The Ageniella includes small species that exhibit -, with females typically displaying orange and coloration with banded . Species-level identification within Ageniella is challenging and often requires expert examination rather than field observation alone. The genus as a whole is poorly documented, and many aspects of species-specific biology remain unknown.

Taxonomic note
Ageniella agenioides was originally described as Priocnemis agenioides by Fox in 1893. The belongs to the 'accepta species group' within the , which includes at least three North species: A. accepta, A. conflicta, and A. blaisdelli according to Townes (1957). However, species-level identification within this group is difficult even for experts.
Data availability
This has zero observations recorded on iNaturalist as of the data cutoff. Published literature specifically addressing A. agenioides appears sparse compared to better-studied such as A. accepta and A. conflicta. Most biological information available for the Ageniella comes from studies of these more common species, and direct attribution to A. agenioides is not supported by available sources.
