Pickard-Cambridge, 1901 and <i>Havaika</i> Prószyński, 2002. The type species, <i>Hivanuatekao</i><b>sp. nov.</b> is described, and five species described by Berland are re-illustrated and moved into the genus: <i>Hivanuaflavipes</i> (Berland, 1933), <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>Hivanuanigrescens</i> (Berland, 1933), <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>Hivanuanigrolineata</i> (Berland, 1933), <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>Hivanuarufescens</i> (Berland, 1934), <b>comb. nov.</b>, and <i>Hivanuatriangulifera</i> (Berland, 1933), <b>comb. nov.</b> The female epigyne is much like that of <i>Habronattus</i>, <i>Bianor</i> 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 <i>H.rufescens</i> but present in <i>H.tekao</i><b>sp. nov.</b>, in which it is elbowed much as in <i>Habronattus</i>. These Pacific Island harmochirines, like the <i>Havaika</i> of Hawaii, appear to be largely foliage dwellers, unlike most of their continental relatives.ZooKeys215-230https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11099472biostudies-literature<i>Hivanua</i>, a new genus of harmochirine jumping spiders from the Marquesas Islands (Araneae, Salticidae, Harmochirina).PMC11099472Maddison WPfalse<i>Hivanua</i>, a new genus of harmochirine jumping spiders from the Marquesas Islands (Araneae, Salticidae, Harmochirina).The genus <i>Hivanua</i><b>gen. nov.</b> is established for the harmochirine jumping spiders of the Marquesas Islands, formerly placed in <i>Habronattus</i> F.O.
