Subfamily Masteriinae Simon, 1889

Diagnosis. The subfamily Masteriinae differs from the other subfamilies of Dipluridae in the apical linear serrula ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ; Raven, 1991), the anterior median eyes are reduced or absent ( Fig. 3A–C View FIGURE 3 ; Raven, 1991); and the tarsal organ lacks elevation with low and concentric keels ( Fig. 1C–D View FIGURE 1 ). We also propose two new characters to enhance the diagnosis of the subfamily: the shape of the tarsal organ ( Fig. 1C–D View FIGURE 1 ), and trichobothria with corrugated bases and longitudinal keels ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ), which is not exclusive to Masteriinae ; Barychelidae and Theraphosidae may have similar bases ( Guadanucci, 2012).
