Metellina is a genus of tetragnathid spiders that occurs mostly in Eurasia, with two species found in North America. M. segmentata was introduced to Canada. Some researchers consider this genus to belong to a distinct family, the Metidae. M. segmentata is probably the most abundant orb-weaving spider of Germany.
