Dendryphantes Click on an image to view larger version & data in a new window
This genus formerly contained many New World species, but as relationships
of dendryphantines become better known, most are being removed from it.
Only one species in the New World seems clearly a Dendryphantes, D. nigromaculatus.
In the Old World the group contains more species.
For more information and links to the species, go to Dendryphantes in the Tree of Life.
References most relevant to species north of Mexico: Maddison (1996).
