1969 Neonesidea schulzi ifalikensis Maddocks : 22, figs. 4e–m.
Remarks. As suggested by Maddocks (1995, p. 203), this is not a geographic subspecies of N. schulzi but a separate species in the N. schulzi species-group. Although this population must be restudied to establish the diagnostic taxonomic characters, it is convenient to elevate the name formally to species rank. Danielopol (1972) re-examined paratype female specimens but did not describe or illustrate them. Titterton et al. (2001) suggested that it belongs to a complex of Pacific species including N. woodwardiana (Brady, 1880) and Bairdia crosskeiana of Brady (1880, 1890, not 1866). It is not closely related to any of the Hawaiian species described here.
Geography. Ifalik Atoll, West Caroline Islands.
