            <p> Type species.  Jipai longevus sp. nov. , by monotypy. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. In common with the following eleven Neotropical hubbardiid genera,  Jipai gen. nov. possesses a female flagellum comprising four flagellomeres and three annuli (Figs. 5D–F, 6D–F):  Adisomus Cokendolpher &amp; Reddell, 2000 ;  Calima Moreno-González &amp; Villarreal, 2012 ;  Cangazomus Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2016;  Colombiazomus Armas &amp; Delgado-Santa, 2012 ;  Hansenochrus Reddell &amp; Cokendolpher, 1995 ;  Mayazomus Reddell &amp; Cokendolpher, 1995 ;  Naderiore Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2016;  Piaroa Villarreal et al. 2008 ;  Rowlandius Reddell &amp; Cokendolpher, 1995 ;  Tayos Reddell &amp; Cokendolpher, 1995 ;  Wayuuzomus Armas &amp; Colmenares, 2006 . However, these genera may be separated as follows. The presence of two pairs of lobes, median lobes (ML) and lateral lobes (LL), in the spermatheca (Fig. 4E) separates  Jipai gen. nov. from  Adisomus ,  Calima ,  Piaroa , and  Tayos , each of which possess a single pair (LL), whereas the ML being significantly longer than the LL separates  Jipai gen. nov. (Fig. 4E) from some species of  Hansenochrus ,  Rowlandius , and  Wayuuzomus , in which the ML are similar in length to the LL, and from  Cangazomus ,  Colombiazomus ,  Naderiore and some species of  Hansenochrus and  Rowlandius , in which the ML are shorter than the LL. Additionally, the presence of more than one pair of setae on opisthosomal tergite II separates  Jipai gen. nov. (Fig. 4A) from all the abovementioned genera, except some species of  Mayazomus , which only possess a single pair. </p>
            <p> Jipai gen. nov. most closely resembles  Mayazomus , from which it can be distinguished by the linear ML of the spermatheca (Fig. 4E), six setae (Dm, Dl 1, and Dl 2) on opisthosomal tergite II (Fig. 4A), and the male pedipalp with a slender femur lacking setiferous tubercles distally, the patella not curved ventrally, and a ventral apophysis absent on the tibia (Fig. 3A). In  Mayazomus , the ML of the spermatheca are curved, four (rarely five) setae (Dm and Dl 1) are present on tergite II, and the male pedipalp exhibits a robust femur with setiferous tubercles distally, the patella markedly curved ventrally, and a ventral apophysis present on the tibia. </p>
            <p>Etymology. The generic name, masculine in gender, is a noun for soil or ground in Kurripako, a language of the Arawak linguistic family, spoken in parts of the Amazon in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. It refers to the substrate in which schizomids are commonly found.</p>

            <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality in the state of Amazonas, Venezuela (Fig. 1).</p>
            <p>Natural History. All specimens of the type series were taken from a single tree stump next to a group of rural houses atop a hill on the banks of the Orinoco River. The surrounding area was flooded as it was during the rainy season.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Multiple pairs of setae on the dorsal surface of opisthosomal tergite II have only been reported in five hubbardiine genera, in addition to  Jipai gen. nov. (Venezuela), which has six setae:  Antillostenochrus Armas &amp; Teruel, 2002 (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico), which has four to eight setae;  Clavizomus Reddell &amp; Cokendolpher, 1995 (Malaysia and Singapore), which has four to seven posterior setae;  Mayazomus (Mexico), which has two to five setae;  Pinero Teruel, 2018 (Cuba), which has four setae; and  Draculoides Harvey, 1992 (Australia), which has two or three setae. Although the presence of multiple pairs of setae was considered synapomorphic for  Mayazomus by Monjaraz-Ruedas &amp; Francke (2016), this hypothesis remains to be tested by a phylogenetic analysis in which the other genera are included. </p>
            <p> The absence of seta Dm 4 is rare among  Hubbardiinae , having only been reported in  Jipai longevus gen. nov. et sp. nov. ,  Reddellzomus cubensis Armas, 2002 , and  Bamazomus siamensis Zheng et al., 2024 , and is assumed to be autapomorphic for each of these species. </p>
