Family: Theridiidae Sundevall, 1833 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0099] Back

Gen. Asagena Sundevall, 1833 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04190 ]
N.B.: removed from the synonymy of Steatoda Sundevall, 1833 by Wunderlich, 2008b: 198 (contra Levi, 1957b: 375); re-synonymization with Steatoda (Murphy & Roberts, 2015: viii) not sufficiently justified and not accepted here; Breitling, 2019b: 26 discusses Asagena might be a subgenus of Steatoda (based mainly on COI, see FAQ 7).
