Daddy long-legs spiders are common inhabitants of tropical and subtropical caves around the globe. Numerous species have evolved troglomorphisms, including the loss of body pigments and eyes. Here we describe the first troglomorphic pholcids from Australia and Réunion.    Belisana   coblynau    Huber &amp; Clark,  sp. nov.  was extracted from mining boreholes in the arid West Australian Pilbara region. It represents a genus that is widespread in tropical forests of South and Southeast Asia, reaching the tropical north and east of Australia.    Belisana   coblynau    is thus presumably a relict whose epigean ancestor lived in the area before the aridification of Australia starting in the early Cenozoic.    Buitinga   ifrit    Huber &amp; Cazanove,  sp. nov.  was collected in Grotte de La Tortue on Réunion, one of the oldest lava tubes on the island (~300,000 years). Congeneric species are known from East Africa, and the genus does not seem to have reached Madagascar. Since   Pholcidae   do not balloon, the now extinct epigean ancestor of    Buitinga   ifrit    probably reached the island by highly accidental means (such as rafts or storms).
