A systematic revision of the whip spider family Charinidae was published today in the European Journal of Taxonomy. It includes important updates on the taxonomic status of many species in the family, including a few transitions of species from the genus Charinus to genus Sarax. The publication is long and extensive; I don't expect you to read it unless you have a strong interest in Amblypygi taxonomy, but this work affects some of the species currently present in captive breeding. Update your labels accordingly.
