The Agelenoidea or agelenoids are a superfamily or informal group of araneomorph spiders. In 1999, a phylogenetic study found a clade called "agelenoids" consisting of members of the families Agelenidae, Amphinectidae and Desidae.[1] A 2005 study did not confirm this grouping, instead placing these three families plus Dictynidae in a clade called the "fused cribellar clade".[2] In 2014, a cladogram produced in a study of dionychan spiders placed the families Amaurobiidae and Cycloctenidae in a clade with Agelenidae, Amphinectidae and Desidae.[3] The status of the agelenoids thus remains uncertain as of October 2015[update].
