Caipirinae Meng, Carvalho, Podsiadlowski & Huber, 2026, subfam. nov.

3.2. 1. SubfamilyCaipirinae subfam. nov. In Family Pholcidae C. L. Koch, 1850 Type genus. Caipira Huber gen. nov. Diagnosis and Description. See single known genus below. Remarks. Our genomic data resolve Caipira gen. nov. as sister to a large clade composed of four subfamilies (Fig. 1); the new genus can thus not be assigned to an existing subfamily. Morphologically, Caipirinae subfam. nov. cannot easily be distinguished from related subfamilies. The two known Caipira species remind of certain Ninetinae, Modisiminae, and Physocyclinae subfam. nov. (see genus diagnosis below) but the sister group of Caipirinae does not seem to be characterized by any morphological synapomorphy. Composition. Monogeneric.
