| Genus: Agroeca Westring, 1861 |
|
| Characters of genus: The carapace usually with clear markings in the shape of characteristic angular loops radiating from the fovea. The abdomen with vague v- or w-shaped pattern or dark oblique spots or bars arranged in rows. The posterior row of eyes markedly procurved. Metatarsus I and II with three pairs of ventral spines. The Danish species can be identified in the field by their bodycolour and size. |

| |
| Agroeca brunnea (Blackwall, 1833) |
| Description: The largest species of the genus. Carapace reddish-brown with golden hairs, and dark markings. Abdomen golden reddish-brown somewhat shiny. Similar to A. proxima which overlap in habitat but is smaller. The eggsacks are very characteristic and look like small inverted wineglasses placed in the vegetation, and are encountered more frequently than the spider itself. The eggsacks may be snowy-white or camouflaged with earth, thereby much less conspiceous. Size: Female 7-8 mm; male 6-7 mm. Maturity: All year. Habitat: Damp or dry places with low vegetation, usually near or within forests, sometimes also moors and grassland.

| |
| Genus: Scotina Menge, 1873 |
|
| Characters of genus: These are small spiders with six to ten pairs of ventral spines easily visible with a lens. The cephalothorax is darker than in the other genera of the family and shiny. The species are found at ground level among moss and detritus. The femora of the legs are light brown while more distal segments are darkened, particularly for the first pairs of legs. The two Danish species are easily separable by their markings. |
| |
| Scotina celans (Blackwall, 1841) |
| Description: The male has much smaller abdomen than the female, and is therefore overall smaller. The cephalothorax has characteristic light median and lateral bands, and may at distance resemble immature Lycosids of the genus Pardosa. The abdomen is reddish-brown, and the markings are typical of the Liocranidae, with grey chevrons. These are however, rather obscure for the male. Size: Female 4-5 mm; male 2.5-3 mm. Maturity: Males in autumn, females all year? Habitat: Damp moss, leaf litter and tussocks on juniper heathland, forest edges and forest clearings. Range: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France (Corsica), France (Mainland), Germany, Great Britain (Mainland), Hungary, Ireland, Italy (Mainland), Netherlands, Norway (Mainland), Poland, Portugal (Mainland), Russia (Eastern European), Russia (Kaliningrad Region), Russia (NW.

| Scotina gracilipes (Blackwall, 1859) |
| Description: Carapace with same markings as S. celans with median and lateral bands. However, these bands are much darker and the carapace appear uniform dark.Carapace is somewhat shinier than that of S. celans. The abdomen is also darker with obscure chevrons. The colouration of the legs are also generally similar to that of S. celans but the dark segments are darker, almost black in legs I and II, as well as shinier. Rear legs have annulated appearance. Size: 2.5-3.5 mm. Maturity: Males late summer and autumn, females throughout year. Habitat: Dry sandy places such as coastal and inland dunes and heathland. Range: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (Mainland), Germany, Great Britain (Mainland), Great Britain (Northern Ireland), Ireland, Netherlands, Norway (Mainland), Poland, Russia (Kaliningrad Region), Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland (van Helsdingen 2009.1).
