Ammotrecha is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Nathan Banks in 1900. [1]
As of October 2022 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following ten species: [2]
Central America is a subregion of the Americas, frequently considered part of North America. Its political boundaries are defined as bordering Mexico to the north, Colombia to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Central America usually consists of seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Within Central America is the Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspot, which extends from northern Guatemala to central Panama. Due to the presence of several active geologic faults and the Central America Volcanic Arc, there is a high amount of seismic activity in the region, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which has resulted in death, injury, and property damage.
Eremobates is a genus of arachnids of the order Solifugae. About 2 inches long, these fast-moving arachnids have the largest jaw size to body ratio of any animal. They are not venomous, but have a remarkably powerful bite. Often hunting at night, they have poor eyesight and navigate mostly by use of a pair of pedipalps.
Ammotrechidae is a family of solifuges distributed in the Americas and the Caribbean Islands. It includes 26 described genera and 95 species. Members of this family can be distinguished from members of other families by the absence of claws on tarsi of leg I, tarsal segmentation 1-2-2-(2-4), pedipalps with pairs of lateroventral spines, and by males having an immovable flagellum on the mesal face of each chelicerum. The propeltidium of the Ammotrechidae is recurved.
Metaphidippus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1901. The name is combined from Ancient Greek μετά "after, beside" and the salticid genus Phidippus.
Lycosa is a genus of wolf spiders distributed throughout most of the world. Sometimes called the "true tarantula", though not closely related to the spiders most commonly called tarantulas today, Lycosa spp. can be distinguished from common wolf spiders by their relatively large size. This genus includes the European Lycosa tarantula, which was once associated with tarantism, a dubious affliction whose symptoms included shaking, cold sweats, and a high fever, asserted to be curable only by the traditional tarantella dance. No scientific substantiation of that myth is known; the venom of Lycosa spiders is generally not harmful.
Eremobatidae is a family of solifuges, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1901.
Anyphaena is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833.
Elaver is a genus of sac spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1898.
Eremochelis is a genus of Eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Ammotrechella is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Hemerotrecha is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Nathan Banks in 1903.
Eremocosta is a genus of Eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Ammotrechesta is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Innesa is a monotypic genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934. Its single species, Innesavittata is distributed in Costa Rica and Guatemala.
Pseudocleobis is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1900.
Ammotrechula is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Eremorhax is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
