Dendrolasma dentipalpe is a species of harvestman in the family Nemastomatidae.[1][2] It is found in North America, in USA California.[1][3][4] The species was described by Shear & Gruber, 1983, who reported the holotype from the US in "Carlotta, Humboldt County", alongside other Californian specimens.[5][6]
Dendrolasma dentipalpe is said to differ from Dendrolasma mirabile by the intricate, small-celled keel lattice, and its relatively shorter legs. The males are said to have more exaggerated cheliceral modifications than Dendrolasma mirabile, plus have a notable medioapical tooth of the male palpal patella. Also the very long penis with an elongated glans.[5]
