Eight genus-group names are available in the arachnid Order Palpigradi Thorell, 1888 by the end of 2025. All of these refer to currently accepted genera: six extant and two extinct. Four (50%) of the currently accepted genera have been described since 1950. Palpigradi includes 138 currently accepted species-group names (136 extant species, including 13 extant subspecies elevated to the rank of species herein, and two extinct species). The phylogeny and suprageneric classification of the order remain poorly understood.
