The Dendryphantina are a subtribe of jumping spiders that occur mainly in the New World. 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. Females in this subtribe typically have S-shaped epigynal openings.
The inclusion of genera follows Joel Hallan's Biology Catalog, with the exception of Agassa, which is now grouped with Sassacus, and Xuriella, discovered in 2000.
