Hello,
This Heterodoxa species has been collected in a Malaise trap on Nuku Hiva (Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia).
It does not agree with the 4 described species, all being single island endemics and moreover none of which being described from Nuku Hiva.
Does anyone work on the Ulidiidae of the Indo-Pacific region and would be interested in working on this very most likely new species ?
I have 7 males and 13 females.
Thank you in advance
