Chinchippus is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920. [1]
As of October 2022 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following two species: [2]
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.
Ralph Vary Chamberlin was an American biologist, ethnographer, and historian from Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a faculty member of the University of Utah for over 25 years, where he helped establish the School of Medicine and served as its first dean, and later became head of the zoology department. He also taught at Brigham Young University and the University of Pennsylvania, and worked for over a decade at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, where he described species from around the world.
Anicius is a monotypic genus of Mexican jumping spiders containing the single species, Anicius dolius. It was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1925, and is only found in Mexico.
Eremobatidae is a family of solifuges, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1901.
Spirembolus is a genus of North American sheet weavers that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920.
Kibramoa is a genus of North American plectreurid spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1924.
Sonatsa is a genus of marine, mud-dwelling polychaete worms containing the sole species Sonatsa meridionalis. S. meridionalis was described in 1919 by Ralph Vary Chamberlin from a single specimen collected by the research ship USS Albatross during a 1904–05 survey of the southeast Pacific Ocean. The type specimen was collected between Peru and the Galapagos Islands, from muddy sediment at a depth of around 4 km. The name Sonatsa derives from the Goshute words soma, meaning "many", and natsani, meaning "hook", while the specific name meridionalis is Latin for "southern".
Hapalotremus major is a species of tarantula, in the subfamily Theraphosinae. It is native to Peru.
Nopsides is a monotypic genus of North American araneomorph spiders in the family Caponiidae, containing the single species, Nopsides ceralbonus. It is one of three nopine species, in addition to Tarsonops and Orthonops, described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin from specimens collected from the Baja California region and nearby islands in 1924. They are active during the night, hiding under large stones of Mexico's deserts and xeric shrublands during the day.
Tarsonops is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Caponiidae, first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1924.
Calisoga is a genus of spiders in the family Nemesiidae, first described in 1937 by Ralph Vary Chamberlin. As of February 2019, it contains five species, all in the USA.
Coloncus is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1949.
Graphomoa is a monotypic genus of North American dwarf spiders containing the single species, Graphomoa theridioides. It was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1924, and has only been found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
Tivodrassus is a genus of Mexican long-spinneret ground spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin & Vaine Wilton Ivie in 1936. It was transferred to the ground spiders in 2018, but was returned to Prodidominae in 2022.
Masoncus is a genus of North American dwarf spiders that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1949.
Tutaibo is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1916.
Stenochrus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1922.
Ammotrechella is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Pseudocleobis is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1900.
