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.
