Horribates is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Martin Hammond Muma in 1962. [1]
As of February 2023 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following three species: [2]
Solifugae is an order of animals in the class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera. Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions, nor true spiders. Most species of Solifugae live in dry climates and feed opportunistically on ground-dwelling arthropods and other small animals. The largest species grow to a length of 12–15 cm (5–6 in), including legs. A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of the Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans, which is negligible.
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.
Anisoditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There is at least one described species in Anisoditha, A. curvidigitata.
Compsaditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are about 12 described species in Compsaditha.
Ditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are about 14 described species in Ditha.
Dithella is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are at least two described species in Dithella.
Haploditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There is at least one described species in Haploditha, H. chamberlinorum.
Neoditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There is at least one described species in Neoditha, N. irusanga.
Pycnodithella is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae.
Sororoditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There is at least one described species in Sororoditha, S. hirsuta.
Tridenchthonius is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are about 16 described species in Tridenchthonius.
Typhloditha is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are at least three described species in Typhloditha.
Verrucaditha is a monotypic genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. Its sole described species is Verrucaditha spinosa.
Verrucadithella is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Chthoniidae. There are at least three described species in Verrucadithella.
Garypus is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Garypidae. It was described by German arachnologist Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1873. The species are found mainly in tropical and subtropical areas, where they occupy supralittoral and littoral zones in seashore habitats.
Chanbria is a genus of camel spiders. It consists of four species found in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Horribates bantai is a species of windscorpion in the family Eremobatidae.
Lusoblothrus is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family Syarinidae. The genus was created to accommodate its sole species, Lusoblothrus aenigmaticus. The species was recently discovered in Portugal, its description published in 2012.
Hemerotrecha is a genus of eremobatid camel spiders, first described by Nathan Banks in 1903.
Phrynichus is a genus of tailless whipscorpions in the family Phrynichidae. There are about 16 described species in Phrynichus.
