SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE 1 . Tree hypotheses summaries.A, Consensus of all hypothesis 1 trees. B, Consensus of all hypothesis 2 trees. B, Consensus of all hypothesis 3 trees. Arrows point to the Outgroups. Clades are colored as follows: Light pink— Pimoidae ; Brown— Stemonyphantinae ; Red— Labulla thoracica ; Yellow— Pocobletinae ; Green— Linyphiinae (new circumscription); Blue—ConoSur Clade; Orange—Clade A; Dark Pink—Clade B. The genera Labulinyphia and Turinyphia are considered incertae sedis and not considered when summarizing the topologies.

FIGURE 1. Preferred hypothesis: Bayesian analysis tree from the total evidence dataset M4 (M4_MB) depicting the proposed new arrangement. Colors represent same previous subfamilial assignments. Black arrow indicates “linyphioids” node. Red arrow indicates Linyphiidae node. Red colored rectangles indicate the correspondent Superclades. Green colored rectangle indicate the novel circumscription for the MPME clade. Black squares represent nodes with full support (posterior probability =1).

FIGURE 2. Outgroup relationship hypothesis for linyphioids, based on M4_MB analysis. A Unconstrained analysis, collapsed branches. B. Constrained analysis, collapsed branches. C Unconstrained analysis with non-collapsed branches. Black-colored squares represent nodes with posterior probability =1.

FIGURE 3. Partial tree from the preferred hypothesis for linyphioids (M4_MB). Pimoidae, Stemonyphantinae, and Pocobletinae new subfamily. Black-colored squares represent nodes with posterior probability =1; gray-colored squares represent nodes with posterior probability between 0.95 and 0.99.

FIGURE 4. Partial tree from the preferred hypothesis for linyphioids (M4_MB). Linyphiinae (new circumscription) (part), Labullinyphia tersa, Linyphia clade, and Frontinella clade. Black-colored squares represent nodes with posterior probability =1; gray-colored squares represent nodes with posterior probability between 0.95 and 0.99.
