Solpugidae is a family of solifuges or sun spiders. Solpugidae have groups of papillae on their pedipalps or sensory organs. The papillae come out of sockets that are characterized with the function of mechanoreceptor, and contact chemoreceptors, which allows them to respond to stimuli such as touch and sound.

The papillae come out of sockets that are characterized with the function of mechanoreceptor, and contact chemoreceptors, which allows them to respond to stimuli such as touch and sound.

==Genera== , the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following seventeen genera: Ferrandia Roewer, 1933 Metasolpuga Roewer, 1934 Oparba Roewer, 1934 Oparbella Roewer, 1934 Prosolpuga Roewer, 1934 Solpuga Lichtenstein, 1796 Solpugassa Roewer, 1933 Solpugeira Roewer, 1933 Solpugella Roewer, 1933 Solpugema Roewer, 1933 Solpugiba Roewer, 1934 Solpugista Roewer, 1934 Solpugisticella Turk, 1960 Solpuguna Roewer, 1933 Solpugyla Roewer, 1933 Zeria Simon, 1879 Zeriassa Pocock, 1895
