Agraecina is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1932. Most species in the genus have a restricted habitat and narrow distribution, with exception of type species Agraecina lineata, which is known from a wider range of habitats over a larger area.
Species
As of November 2024, the World Spider Catalog recognizes eight species, found in Africa, Europe and Asia:
- Agraecina agadirensis Lecigne, Lips, Moutaouakil & Oger, 2020 - Morocco
- Agraecina canariensis Wunderlich, 1992 – Canary Is.
- Agraecina cristiani (Georgescu, 1989) – Romania, Slovakia
- Agraecina hodna Bosmans, 1999 – Algeria
- Agraecina lineata (Simon, 1878) (type) – Western Mediterranean to Kazakhstan
- Agraecina rutilia (Simon, 1897) – Sierra Leone
- Agraecina salsicola Bosmans & Boubakri, 2020 - Tunisia
- Agraecina scupiensis Deltshev, 2016 – North Macedonia, Greece

- Agraecina albicans (Bösenberg, 1902) (synonym of Agraecina lineata (Simon, 1878))
- Agraecina striata (Kulczyński, 1882) (now Liocranoeca striata)
