Biton is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1880. [1]
As of October 2022 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following sixty-eight species: [2]
Mogrus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1882.
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
Eublemma is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1829.
Galeodes is a genus of solifuges or sun spiders. The nearly 200 species in this genus are found in northern Africa, southeastern Europe and Asia. Like other solifuges, they are mainly nocturnal and found in arid habitats. They often have long hairy appendages and are not as stout bodied or dark and contrastingly coloured as some other solifuges. Some Galeodes species are able to produce sounds by stridulation. These are usually raspy or hiss-like and may be imitations of the sounds of vipers, to serve a defensive function. As in other solifuges, mating involves the male depositing a spermatogonia that is manipulated into the female genital opening using their chelicera. The male strokes the female using the palps allowing her to be approached. Females will often feed on males before or after mating. The female then deposits the eggs in a burrow in soil and in some species guards them.
Daesiidae is a family of solifugids, which are widespread in Africa and the Middle East. Members of the family are also present in India, Italy, South America, the Balkans, and the single species Gluvia dorsalis in the Iberian Peninsula. A single fossil species is known from Eocene Baltic amber.
Allocosa is a spider genus of the wolf spider family, Lycosidae. The 130 or more recognized species are spread worldwide.
Olios is the largest genus of huntsman spiders, containing 177 species. They are found throughout the world, with most species occurring in hot countries. The genus was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837.
Chelypus ('clawfoot') is a genus of slow-moving, burrowing sunspiders confined to the deserts and arid regions of Southern Africa. There are 6 known species.
Zeria is a genus of solifuges or sun spiders. The species of this genus are found in sub-Saharan Africa.
Ceroma is a genus of ceromid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1885.
Hemiblossia is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1899.
Blossia is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Eugène Simon in 1880.
Gluviopsis is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1899.
