Abstract

The authors examined the male holotype of Caiganga antennata Carvalho & Becker, 1957. It was verified that the descriptions of the monobasic genus and species were based on a teneral specimen. As a result, the generic morphological diagnosis is corrected. In addition, the previously unknown female of C. antennata  is described and illustrated.
