ABSTRACT: An overview of Greek solifuges is presented as an annotated checklist of the bibliography, covering the literature related directly to the solifuges of Greece with all known localities. Two species are added to the known camel spider fauna for the country, Galeodes araneoides (Pallas, 1772) and G. barbarus Lucas, 1849, which were omitted from the last checklist. Currently, a total of 14 species and one subspecies belonging to four families and eight genera are reported from Greece. Four species, Gluviella rhodiensis Caporiacco, 1948, Galeodes hellenicus Roewer, 1934, G. rhodicola Roewer, 1941 and Barrussus furcichelis Roewer, 1928 and one genus, Gluviella, are presently known to be endemic. Potential erroneous data and dubious distributional records that may exist in the literature are also identified.
KEY WORDS: Camel spiders, sun spiders, fauna, solifuge, species checklist, literature review, Greece.
