Eremothera is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Martin Hammond Muma in 1951. [1]
As of February 2023 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following two 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.
Rhagodia is a genus of rhagodid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Eremobatidae is a family of solifuges, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1901.
Rhagodeya is a genus of rhagodid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Chanbria is a genus of camel spiders. It consists of four species found in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Eremochelis is a genus of Eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Horribates is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Martin Hammond Muma in 1962.
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.
Sedna is a monotypic genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Martin Hammond Muma in 1971. Its single species, Sedna pirata is distributed in Chile.
Branchia is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Martin Hammond Muma in 1951.
Ammotrechula is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Ammotrecha is a genus of ammotrechid camel spiders, first described by Nathan Banks in 1900.
