Argyrodella is a monotypic genus of tangle-web spider, containing the species Argyrodella pusillus. It is endemic to the Seychelles, and can be found on the islands of Mahé and Silhouette. It is found in woodland habitats, where it spins orb webs or is a kleptoparasite of the red-legged golden orb-web spider. It is threatened by habitat deterioration due to invasive plants, especially Cinnamomum verum.
