Agraecina is a genus of liocranid sac spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1932.[3] 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.[4]

- Agraecina agadirensis Lecigne, Lips, Moutaouakil & Oger, 2020 - Morocco
- Agraecina canariensis Wunderlich, 1992 – Canary Is.
- Agraecina cristiani (Georgescu, 1989) – Romania, Slovakia
- Agraecina hodna Bosmans, 1999 – Algeria
- Agraecina lineata (Simon, 1878) (type) – Western Mediterranean to Kazakhstan
- Agraecina rutilia (Simon, 1897) – Sierra Leone
- Agraecina salsicola Bosmans & Boubakri, 2020 - Tunisia
- Agraecina scupiensis Deltshev, 2016 – North Macedonia, Greece
