From HandWiki

Agraecina is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1932.[1] 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.[2]
