Hivanua , a new genus of harmochirine jumping spiders from the Marquesas Islands (Araneae, Salticidae, Harmochirina)

The genus is established for the harmochirine jumping spiders of the Marquesas Islands, formerly placed in F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1901 and Prószyński, 2002. The type species, is described, and five species described by Berland are re-illustrated and moved into the genus: (Berland, 1933), , (Berland, 1933), , (Berland, 1933), , (Berland, 1934), , and (Berland, 1933), The female epigyne is much like that of , Peckham & Peckham, 1896, and other harmochirines, with a centrally placed coupling pocket and two atria with crescent-shaped edges. The terminal apophysis of the male palp, which is variable throughout the pellenine subgroup of the Harmochirina, is absent in but present in , in which it is elbowed much as in . These Pacific Island harmochirines, like the of Hawaii, appear to be largely foliage dwellers, unlike most of their continental relatives.
