Solifuge
Algodones Dunes, Imperial County, California, USA
September 21, 2012
Size: ~ 25 mm
Appeared after dark near our chairs.
The dunes were very rich after some heavy monsoonal rains. Much greenery and associated insects and arachnids.

looks to be Eremothera!
Perhaps E sculpturata, which is known from this area.

Males have a strange adornment on their fixed cheliceral finger.
