A checklist of all taxa of the order Solifugae from Iraq is presented. The checklist is based on the compilation of data gathered from published records up to now. This list comprises 21 species and 3 subspecies belonging to 11 genera distributed in 4 fam-ilies, Daesiidae, Galeodidae, Karschiidae and Rhago-didae. It composes of one endemic genus; Rhagodos-pus, and four endemic species; Galeodes adamsi (Turk, 1947), G. lawrencei Harvey, 2002 (Galeodidae), Rha-godixa kurdistanica (Birula, 1936) and Rhagodospus babylonicus (Birula, 1935)(Rhagodidae). Two previ-ously overlooked species, Gluviopsilla discolor (Krae-pelin, 1899)(Daesiidae) and Galeodes bacillifer Po-cock, 1900 (Galeodidae) are included in the list. Alto-gether, five species erroneously reported from the coun-try are omitted from the checklist; Galeodes bacillifer-oides Roewer, 1934, G. starmuehlneri Roewer, 1952, G. sulfuripes Roewer, 1934, G. taurus (Roewer, 1934) and Gylippus (Gylippus) syriacus (Simon, 1872). This study provides more detailed and comprehensive docu-mentation of solifuges in Iraq.
