Taxonomy

Dolomedes gertschi is closely related to the Dolomedes scriptus. This is bases on similarities of both their colour patterns and the tibial apophyses of the males. The species differ from each other by their palpi [6]

Range

In the first description of the species in 1973, it was only said to exist in the mesic parts of the Gila River drainage in Arizona and New Mexico.[6] Current recorded observations in GBIF suggests that this still is the case. [7]
