Tegenaria is a genus of fast-running funnel weavers that occupy much of the Northern Hemisphere except for Japan and Indonesia. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804,^[2] though many of its species have been moved elsewhere. The majority of these were moved to Eratigena,^[3] including the giant house spider (Eratigena atrica) and the hobo spider (Eratigena agrestis).^[1]

They can be difficult to identify because they resemble wolf spiders and other funnel-web spiders in their area,^[4] unless found in an area where they do not occur naturally.^[5] They live on sheet webs, usually stretching across the corner between two walls. They have eight eyes in two straight or almost straight rows.^[5] Size varies from one species to another, but the body length of adults can range from 10 millimetres (0.39 in) to 20 millimetres (0.79 in), not including the legs.^[4] The cardinal spider is the largest funnel weaver, with females that can grow up to 18 millimetres (0.71 in) long.^[6]
