House spiders of the genus Tegenaria are fast-running brownish funnel-web weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. Of all Agelenids Tegenaria possesses the largest species of funnel weavers: the dust spider (T. atrica) the Cardinal spider (T. parietina) as well as the giant house spider (T. duellica) whose species’ females reach 17 18 and 20 mm (⅝ ¾ and ⅞ in.) in body size respectively.
