The Dendryphantina are a subtribe of jumping spiders that occur mainly in the New World. [1] The subtribe was first defined by Anton Menge in 1879 as Dendryphantidae. Females of the subtribe generally show paired spots on the abdomen, and the males often have enlarged chelicerae. [2] Females in this subtribe typically have S-shaped epigynal openings. [2]
