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).
