Ammotrechella is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934. [1]
As of October 2022 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following fifteen species: [2]
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.
Anasaitis is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by E. B. Bryant in 1950. The name is derived from the salticid genus Saitis.
Pardosa is a large genus of wolf spiders, with more than 500 described species that are found in all regions of the world.
Pirata is a genus of wolf spiders, commonly known as pirate wolf spiders.
Anyphaena is a genus of anyphaenid sac spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833.
Pseudocellus is an arachnid genus in the order Ricinulei, first described by Norman Platnick in 1980.
Elaver is a genus of sac spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1898.
Ceromidae is a family of solifuges, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Ammotrechesta is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Ammotrechinus is a monotypic genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934. Its single species, Ammotrechinusgryllipes is distributed in Haiti and Jamaica.
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.
Mummuciona is a monotypic genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934. Its single species, Mummucionasimoni is distributed in Colombia and Venezuela.
Neocleobis is a monotypic genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934. Its single species, Neocleobissolitarius is distributed in Galápagos Islands.
