Schizomida is an order of arachnids, generally less than 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in length.
Thelyphonida is an arachnid order comprising invertebrates commonly known as whip scorpions or vinegaroons. They are often called uropygids in the scientific community based on an alternative name for the order, Uropygi. The name "whip scorpion" refers to their resemblance to true scorpions and possession of a whiplike tail, and "vinegaroon" refers to their ability when attacked to discharge an offensive, vinegar-smelling liquid, which contains acetic acid.
The Maltese palpigrade, endemic to the Maltese Islands, comes from the order Palpigradi, a rather primitive order of arachnids. There are 80 species of palpigrade worldwide. They are small and eyeless with a long tail-like structure.
Draculoides is a genus of troglobite arachnid endemic to North West Australia. Often mistaken for a spider, D. bramstokeri is a schizomid — a small, soil-dwelling invertebrate that walks on six legs and uses two modified front legs as feelers. It uses large fang-like pedipalps, or pincers, to grasp invertebrate prey and crunch it into pieces before sucking out the juices.
Hubbardiidae is a family of arachnids, superficially resembling spiders. It is the larger of the two extant families of the order, Schizomida, and is divided into two subfamilies. The family is based on the description published by Orator F. Cook in 1899, and was previously named as Schizomidae. The American Arachnological Society assigns the common name hubbardiid shorttailed whipscorpion to members of this family
Anepsiozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2001.
Apozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 1992.
Phrynidae is a family of amblypygid arachnida arthropods also known as whip spiders and tailless whip scorpions. Phrynidae species are found in tropical and subtropical regions in North and South America. Some species are subterranean; all are nocturnal. At least some species of Phrynidae hold territories that they defend from other individuals.
Prokoeneniidae is a family of microscorpions in the order Palpigradi. There are at least two genera and about seven described species in Prokoeneniidae.
Stenochrus portoricensis is a species of arachnid belonging to the family Hubbardiidae in the order Schizomida, which are commonly known as short-tailed whip scorpions. They are mostly found in North and Central America, but their parthenogenetic lifestyle allows them to live in other parts of the world in temperate climates. They are able to thrive in different parts of the world, especially in caves, forests, fallen logs, and abandoned nests of termites.
Eremocosta is a genus of windscorpions in the family Eremobatidae. There are about 15 described species in Eremocosta.
