An Evaluation on the Last Ecdysis in Galeodids (Galeodidae, Solifugae, Arachnida)

“…The arachnids of the order Solifugae are fast-moving predaceous animals, comprising more than 1100 species belonging to 138 genera and 12 extant families (Harvey, 2003;Erdek, 2019). Many solifuges are predominantly univoltine and active for only short periods of their life cycle, not living for more than one year (Punzo, 1998).…”

“…They pointed to cuticular injuries on abdominal segments and genital opening in females during mating. Hrušková-Martišová et al [5] studied the behaviour of coercive copulation in Galeodes caspius subfuscus Birula, 1937 (Galeodidae) and Gluvia dorsalis (Latreille, 1817) (Daesiidae). They also indicated injuries on the cuticles of the genital organ and 4 th legs in females and broken tips on male chelicerae during copulation.…”
