Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802)

Luffarspindel (Eratigena agrestis) är en spindelart i släktet Eratigena, nära släkt med olika arter av husspindlar i spindelfamiljen trattspindlar. Den kallas luffarspindel efter dess amerikanska namn Hobo Spider. Namnet lanserades av spindelexperterna Gunnar Alroth och Lars Jonsson, universitetsadjunkt i biologi i ett telefonsamtal sedan den upptäckts på den konstgjorda ön Pepparholm i Öresund och medias intresse för arten gjorde att ett svenskt namn behövdes.
