Agelenella pusilla (Pocock, 1903) |
|
Agelenella is a genus of medium sized spiders native to Yemen and Ethiopia. It contains a single species, Agelenella pusilla. Spiders of this genus can be distinguished by the distinctly ringed legs.
Members of this genus are generally about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long. The pedipalps and the outer membrane of the carapace are yellowish orange with black marks. The legs are black with distinctive yellow rings. The tarsi and coxae are almost completely yellow. The underside is mostly black, though two lines run from the genital fold down the body. The legs and abdomen have sparse white hairs.
Very few specimens have been recorded, and of the few found, all of them were females. Though Agelenella is thought to be a monophyletic group of ten other Agelenidae genera, it is difficult to determine its relationship to those genera without a male specimen.
