''Uahuka'' is a genus of linyphiid spiders with two species that occur only on the Marquesas Islands. H.W. Levi transferred it to the family Symphytognathidae in 1972, but this was rejected by Brignoli in 1980.〔Platnick, N.I. (2006). (The world spider catalog ), version 7.0. American Museum of Natural History: (Lyniphiidae )〕 ''U. spinifrons'' has only been found on Ua Huka, ''U. affinis'' only on Hiva Oa,〔Nishida, G.M. (2006). French Polynesia Spider Checklist (Preliminary) 2006 November 17 ( Checklist in .doc format )〕 a larger island about 50 km to the Southeast. ==Name== The genus is named after the island Ua Huka on the Marquesas Islands. The describer, Lucien Berland, named several genera after islands in the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s. Other names derived from islands in the Marquesas are ''Uapou'' and ''Nukuhiva''. The name of the species ''U. affinis'' is derived from the Latin ''affinis'' "allied, related"; ''spinifrons'' translates to "spiny front". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uahuka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
