Boreosolifugae is a suborder of animals in the order Solifugae. In 2023, the internal phylogeny of solifuges was resolved for the first time using phylogenomics.[1] The molecular phylogeny of the order showed evidence for two groups of families, which were recognized as suborders. Boreosolifugae comprises five families, predominantly from the northern hemisphere:

The taxonomy of the Protosolpugidae remains uncertain.
