Solifugae

Solpugids are diverse in the tropics and subtropics, distinguished by their strong chelicerae, long leg-like pedipalps, some diurnal and others nocturnal, as well as lacking venom. 

Commonly, they can be found in arid and semi-arid habitats, sheltering in burrows, built with the help of chelicerae and pedipalps, or climbing bushes in search of prey. 

In terms of diversity, it is considered a lesser order group, with 1,187 species, 141 genera and 12 families. In Colombia it is represented by five genres: Ammotrechella Roewer, 1934, Ammotrechulla Roewer, 1934, Eutrecha Maury 1982, Mummuciona Roewer, 1934 and Saronomus Kraepelin, 1900.
