  • Ageleninae

    Typical Funnel Weavers

    Ageleninae is a subfamily of funnel-weaving spiders (family Agelenidae) characterized by their distinctive web architecture. The subfamily includes two recognized tribes, Textricini and Agelenini. Recent systematic work in South Africa has substantially expanded known diversity, documenting significant undescribed species richness in arid regions. Members of this subfamily are among the most commonly encountered spiders in their habitats, with over 185,000 observations recorded on iNaturalist.
