Solpugema is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933. [1]
As of August 2023 [update] , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following twenty-nine 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.
Galeodes is a genus of solifuges or sun spiders. The nearly 200 species in this genus are found in northern Africa, southeastern Europe and Asia. Like other solifuges, they are mainly nocturnal and found in arid habitats. They often have long hairy appendages and are not as stout bodied or dark and contrastingly coloured as some other solifuges. Some Galeodes species are able to produce sounds by stridulation. These are usually raspy or hiss-like and may be imitations of the sounds of vipers, to serve a defensive function. As in other solifuges, mating involves the male depositing a spermatogonia that is manipulated into the female genital opening using their chelicera. The male strokes the female using the palps allowing her to be approached. Females will often feed on males before or after mating. The female then deposits the eggs in a burrow in soil and in some species guards them.
Daesiidae is a family of solifugids, which are widespread in Africa and the Middle East. Members of the family are also present in India, Italy, South America, the Balkans, and the single species Gluvia dorsalis in the Iberian Peninsula. A single fossil species is known from Eocene Baltic amber.
Allocosa is a spider genus of the wolf spider family, Lycosidae. The 130 or more recognized species are spread worldwide.
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.
Ceroma is a genus of ceromid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1885.
Ceromella is a genus of ceromid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Hemiblossia is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Karl Kraepelin in 1899.
Biton is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1880.
Blossia is a genus of daesiid camel spiders, first described by Eugène Simon in 1880.
Hexisopus is a genus of hexisopodid camel spiders, first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1879.
Rhagodes is a genus of rhagodid camel spiders, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1897.
Solpuga is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Anton August Heinrich Lichtenstein in 1796.
Zeriassa is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1897.

Solpugassa is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Solpuguna is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1933.
Oparbella is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
Solpugista is a genus of solpugid camel spiders, first described by Carl Friedrich Roewer in 1934.
