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 ...
