Solifugae is an order of animals in the class Arachnida. They are known variously as camel spiders wind scorpions sun spiders or solifuges. The order includes more than 1000 described species in about 153 genera. Much like a spider the body of a Solifugid has two tagmata: an opisthosoma (abdomen) behind the prosoma (that is in effect a combined head and thorax). At the front end the prosoma bears two chelicerae that in most species are conspicuously large.
