  • Wadotes

    Wadotes is a genus of North American funnel weavers (family Agelenidae) established by R.V. Chamberlin in 1925. The genus contains eleven species distributed primarily in the eastern and central United States and southern Canada. These spiders are characterized by their robust build, heavy legs, and relatively large size compared to other agelenids, with some species reaching 14 mm in body length. The genus has undergone taxonomic revisions, having been placed in Amaurobiidae before returning to Agelenidae based on morphological evidence.
