A review of the world fauna of the Hydrotaea dentipes species group, with 23 taxa included, is offered. Three African species of Hydrotaea were newly included in the group and redescriptions of these species are given. Based on the comparison of COI sequences, the phylogenetic history of the H. dentipes group was examined and the monophyly of the group was confirmed. An alphabetical list of species with distributional data and taxonomic remarks is given. Three new synonymies are offered: Hydrotaea cyrtoneurina Zetterstedt, 1845 = H. cyrtoneura Seguy, 1938, syn. nov. = H. indica Shinonaga & Tewari, 2008, syn. nov.; Hydrotaea fumifera Walker, 1853 = Hydrotaea fumifera abyssinica Emden, 1943, syn. nov. An identification key for 12 species with clear identity is offered.
