Tetragnathinae are represented by Agriognatha , Tetragnatha , Pachygnatha Sundevall, 1823 and Glenognatha Simon, 1887 . The phylogenetic relationships of Agriognatha are either as sister to Tetragnatha or to all other Tetragnathinae . Eight synapomorphies support the monophyly of Agriognatha plus the remaining tetragnathines: male chelicerae enlarged and curving distally more that two times the clypeus width (15-1), the presence of dorsal femoral trichobothria (27-0), enlarged sperm duct (58-1), articulated paracymbium (50-3), loss of epigynum and fertilization ducts (79-1 and 80-1), copulatory openings immersed in a membranous sac (81-2) and epigynal opening spiracleshaped (90-1). Two synapomorphies group Diphya with Tetragnathinae : the cymbium apical margin constricted (38-1) and the paracymbium with a distal sclerotized triangular projection (51-1).
