Metadentobunus is a genus of harvestmen in the family Sclerosomatidae, native to Taiwan. The genus traditionally consisted of just one species with two subspecies: M. formosae formosae and M. formosae garampiensis. However, a 2018 study by Chen and Shih identified a new species, Metadentobunus brevispinus, and raised the two prior subspecies up to separate species.
