Melanoblossia is a genus of melanoblossiid camel spiders, first described by William Frederick Purcell in 1903. [1]
As of April 2023 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following five species: [2]
The Harpactirinae are a subfamily of tarantulas which are native to the continent of Africa. Like many Old World tarantulas, they have a relatively strong venom, and can inflict a painful bite.
Galeosoma is a genus of African armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by William Frederick Purcell in 1903.
Chelypus ('clawfoot') is a genus of slow-moving, burrowing sunspiders confined to the deserts and arid regions of Southern Africa.
Zeria is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Eugène Simon in 1879.
Spiroctenus is a genus of African araneomorph spiders in the family Bemmeridae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1889. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, and to the Bemmeridae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Bemmeris, Bessia, and Ctenonemus.
Ceroma is a genus of ceromid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1885.
Toreus is a monotypic genus of ceromid camel spiders, first described by William Frederick Purcell in 1903. Its single species, Toreuscapensis is distributed in South Africa.
