Forty-one genus-group names are available in the arachnid Order Amblypygi Thorell, 1883 by the end of 2025. Twenty-five of these refer to currently accepted genera (18 extant and seven extinct) and two are nomina dubia. Fourteen genus-group names are in synonymy. Eleven (44%) of the currently accepted genera were described since 1950. Amblypygi includes 299 currently accepted species-group names (284 extant species, including two extant subspecies elevated to the rank of species herein, and 15 extinct species) and 13 nomina dubia. The suprageneric classification of the order is well structured due to extensive phylogenetic analyses.
