In regard to the other funnel-weaving species, this study
is the largest series of Agelenopsis bites of which we are
aware. Vetter (1998) reported two bites,
one on the neck of a 9-year old boy who developed somewhat significant
symptoms (pallor, nausea,myalgia, arthralgia)
probably due to his small body size.
But otherwise, Agelenopsis bites are relatively harmless.
The three H. nedra bites adds to the literature for this genus, where Vetter (2012) reported three other bites by Hololena spiders,
two of which caused 4-h episodes of vomiting in robust male bite victims.
In our study, the H. nedra bites were of minor importance. Also, it
may be beneficial to point out that the
araneomorph funnel weavers of the family Agelenidae are relatively harmless
and are not closely related to
the mygalomorph funnel web spiders of Australia which are highly toxic. This mistake was made in a dermatology review of arthropod bites (Steen
et al., 2004) and corrected by Vetter and Swanson (2005).
