Amblypygi
Amblypygi is an order of arachnids also known as whip-spiders or tailless whip-scorpions, not to be confused with whip-scorpions or vinegaroons that belong to the related order Uropygi. The name "amblypygid" means "blunt tail", a reference to a lack of the flagellum that is otherwise seen in whip-scorpions. Amblypygids possess no silk glands or venom. They rarely bite if threatened but can grab fingers with their pedipalps, resulting in thorn-like puncture-injuries.
Phrynidae
Phrynidae is a family of amblypygid arachnida arthropods also known as whip spiders and tailless whip scorpions. Phrynidae species are found in tropical and subtropical regions in North and South America. Some species are subterranean; all are nocturnal. At least some species of Phrynidae hold territories that they defend from other individuals.

Paracharontidae
Paracharontidae is an arachnid family within the order Amblypygi (tailless whip scorpions). Paracharontidae and the extinct Weygoldtinidae from the Carboniferous form the suborder Paleoamblypygi, one of the two suborders within Amblypygi. The family contains two genera: Paracharon, containing the single species Paracharon caecus from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, and Jorottui, with the single species Jorottui ipuanai from Colombia in northern South America. Paracharonopsis from the Eocene (Ypresian) aged Cambay amber of India was initially assigned to this family, but this was later questioned
