The first description of a spider now assigned to this species was by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1843, under the name Tegenaria atrica. Other supposedly different species were described later, including Tegenaria saeva by John Blackwall in 1844, Tegenaria duellica by Eugène Simon in 1875 and Tegenaria gigantea by Ralph Vary Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie ...
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.
Eratigena duellica, the giant house spider, is a species of funnel weaver in the spider family Agelenidae. It is found in Canada, the United States, and Europe. [1] [2] The related species Eratigena atrica is also called the giant house spider. Eratigena atrica was transferred from the genus Tegenaria in 2013.
Eratigena is a genus of spider in the family Agelenidae.Most of its species were moved from the genus Tegenaria in 2013, of which the genus name is an anagram. [2] Two species that frequently build webs in and around human dwellings are now placed in this genus: the hobo spider (Eratigena agrestis), native to Europe and Central Asia and introduced to North America, and the giant house spider ...

A. robustus is one of three designated species of the genus Atrax (the others being A. yorkmainorum and A. sutherlandii). [13] [14] The related genus Hadronyche is represented by about 40 other dangerous species in eastern Australia, including Queensland and Tasmania. The males in this case have somewhat more potent venom than females and they ...
Like many species of spider the positive identification of Eratigena agrestis requires microscopic examination of the epigynum and palpal bulb (the female and male sex organs respectively) and is best done by an arachnologist. However, the following characteristics identify hobo spiders among other species with a similar general appearance:
Deadliest animals as of 2016 [1]. This is a list of the deadliest animals to humans worldwide, measured by the number of humans killed per year. Different lists have varying criteria and definitions, so lists from different sources disagree and can be contentious.
