Hogna crispipes (L. Koch)

New island record

This species was first listed from Kahului in 2002 as Lycosa sp. A and provisionally considered native ( Howarth and Preston 2002); however, the form of the male pedipalp is closer to extra-limital species of Hogna rather than the native Hawaiian wolf spiders. Hogna is the largest genus of wolf spiders with a nearly world-wide distribution. The Maui specimen proved to be the same species as an adventive species found on Kauai and Oahu, which was recently identified by V. Framenau as H. crispipes (L. Koch, 1877) . This species is widespread in Australia and many Pacific islands (Framenau et al. 2006).
