  Eremobates is a genus of solifuges (sun spiders/camel spiders) in the family Eremobatidae, distributed primarily in western North America. These fast-moving arachnids are notable for having the largest jaw-to-body ratio of any animal. They are non-venomous predators that rely on powerful chelicerae to subdue prey. Most species are nocturnal and navigate primarily using their pedipalps rather than vision. The genus contains approximately 97 accepted species.
