Dendrothereua is a genus of house centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. There are at least three described species in Dendrothereua, found in the southern United States and the Neotropics.[1][2][3]

Dendrothereua was formerly considered a taxonomic synonym of Scutigera. In 2009, Edgecomb and Giribet[4] resurrected the genus based on Phylogenetic research. The species of Dendrothereua are still sometimes considered part of Scutigera.
