Eremobatine
solpugids possess a single claw on the tip of
the first leg. Most solpugids, and indeed, most
arachnids, bear two claws. The single claw of
the eremobatines, which is flattened and has a
broad base, is a unique inherited feature (a
synapomorphy) shared by members of this
distinctive lineage. Five genera have been
recognized:
Eremobates (88 species),
Eremocosta (13 species),
Eremorhax (10 species),
Eremothera (2 species) and
Horribates (3 species).
