Additional Remarks

Males of this species have the longest embolus of the genus. The black “coil-like” mating apparatus makes a wider diameter circle than on the other male Agelenopsis species; the”coil” is significantly wider than the cymbium of the palp.
Can be mistaken for other species in the genus Agelenopsis. A microscope exam is typically needed to separate them.
Color may be somewhat darker than the other Agelenopsis.
