Allagelena opulenta is a species of funnel weaver spider of the family Agelenidae. The species was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1878. [1] [2]
A. opulenta is native to Japan, China, Korea, [3] and Taiwan. [4] It is similar in appearance to A. bistriata but can be distinguished by a number of features including the structure of its patella and the shape of its retrolateral tibial apophysis. [3]
Its venom is used to make the insecticidal toxin agelenin. [5]
