129, see text Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia.

It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804,[2] though many of its species have been moved elsewhere.

[1] They can be difficult to identify because they resemble wolf spiders and other funnel-web spiders in their area,[4] unless found in an area where they do not occur naturally.

[5] They live on sheet webs, usually stretching across the corner between two walls.

[4] The cardinal spider is the largest funnel weaver, with females that can grow up to 18 millimetres (0.71 in) long.
