Note. The genus Masteria occurs in South America, Asia and Australia. Masteria cavicola was described from a
cave in the Philippines and was never illustrated. The genus is separate from other genera of Masteriinae subfamily by the absence of micro-spines around the ocular region, the presence of prolateral process on apical portion of tibia I of males and ovate pattern of eyes (Passanha & Brescovit 2018), the type specimen of Masteria cavicola does not present this characteristic ovate eye pattern (Fig. 5A) and therefore is probably misplaced in that genus.
