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.[2]
