• Agnyphantes arboreus

  Agnyphantes arboreus is a species of sheet-web weaver spider in the family Linyphiidae, first described by Emerton in 1915 under the name Bathyphantes arborea. It is a small spider native to western North America, with confirmed records from Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. Like other linyphiids, it constructs flat sheet webs to capture prey. The species epithet 'arboreus' suggests an association with trees or woody vegetation.
