Arctosa cinerea is one of the most conspicuous wolf spider of central Europe, with a palearctic distribution and also found in Congo. The spider reaches a length of 17 mm, and occurs only on sandy beaches of rivers, lakes and oceans.

They dig holes in the ground, which they cover with silk, or hide under rocks.
