The thorax is 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter, its sides distended when compared with the thorax of other Australian cicadas.

Many have no wings or ocelli, and may have a different shape to the thorax.

Being less developed, the thorax of an adolescent is likely more prone to this injury given the circumstances.

Much like a spider, the body of a solifugid has two tagmata an opisthosoma (abdomen) behind the prosoma (that is, in effect, a combined head and thorax).

The first segment of the thorax is small and narrow, while the second and third are larger and broader, especially in the males, where they include the flight muscles.

Mutations of SDHB play an important role in familial adrenal pheochromocytoma and extra adrenal paraganglioma (of abdomen and thorax), although there is considerable overlap in the types of tumors associated with SDHB and SDHD gene mutations.
