This article is about the arachnid genus. For the noctuid moth genus, see [Tabomeeres](/source/Tabomeeres).

***Eremobates*** is a genus of [arachnids](/source/Arachnid) of the [order](/source/Scientific_classification) [Solifugae](/source/Solifugae).[1] About 2 inches long, these fast-moving arachnids have the largest jaw size to body ratio of any animal.[citation needed] They are not [venomous](/source/Venom_(poison)), but have a remarkably powerful bite. Often hunting at night, they have poor eyesight and navigate mostly by use of a pair of [pedipalps](/source/Pedipalp).

They are solitary creatures, coming together only to mate, the male using his [pedipalps](/source/Pedipalp) to transfer [seminal fluid](/source/Seminal_fluid) to the female, which buries between 50 and 200 [eggs](/source/Egg_(biology)) in the ground. The female stays with the young until they are mature enough to hunt and defend themselves, feeding and caring for them.

Species of the genus *Eremobates* are generally found in the western United States, and at northern end into southwestern Canada, and south into Mexico.
