Rugathodes is a genus of theridiid spiders. They have a mainly paleotropical distribution, but R. acoreensis and R. pico are endemic to the Azores, and R. aurantius is holarctic. R. sexpunctatus is found in North America as well as Russia.
R. aurantius and R. sexpunctatus are sister species. The genera Theridion and Wamba are closely related.[1]
