Arachniodes is a fern genus in the family Dryopteridaceae (wood ferns). A number of species in this genus are known as "holly ferns".
The genus Arachniodes was first published by Carl Ludwig von Blume in 1828, with the single Indonesian species Arachniodes aspidioides. But the genus wasn't widely recognized until Mary Douglas Tindale transferred the two species Byrsopteris amabilis and Byrsopteris aristata into it in 1961.
Arachniodes species include but are not limited to those in the following list. A species name preceded by (=) is considered by the referenced authority to be a synonym of the accepted species name listed above it.
Carl Ludwig von Blume published a description of the first Arachniodes species in Enumeratio Plantarum Javae et Insularum Adjacentium (An Enumeration of the Plants of Java and Adjacent Islands) in 1828.
The next Arachniodes species descriptions were published by Mary Douglas Tindale in Contributions from the New South Wales National Herbarium, volume 3, number 1, in 1961. This transferred two species from Conrad Vernon Morton's one-year-old Byrsopteris genus to Blume's 133-year-old Arachniodes genus.
Jisaburo Ohwi published the following Arachniodes species in the Journal of Japanese Botany, volume 37, number 3, in 1962.
The following species were transferred into Arachniodes by Ren Chang Ching in an article entitled "On the Nomenclature of the Compound-leaved Polysticha", published in the journal Acta Botanica Sinica, volume 10, number 3, Peking, China, September, 1962. Besides those listed below, a number of his species had already been published by Ohwi a few months earlier, and so appear in the section above, listed as synonyms marked nom. illeg.
In 1962, Satoru Kurata published descriptions of the following specie in the Science Report of the Yokosuka City Museum, Yokosuka, Japan.
