About Procanace hardyi
Procanace hardyi was described in 2016 from Kauaʻi material.
Natural history and identification
Procanace hardyi was described in 2016 from Kauaʻi material. Its female holotype was swept over running water in Kōkeʻe Stream near Canyon Trail; other specimens came from wet rocks beside streams. Females have a constricted abdomen and distinctive ovipositor bristles that separate them from P. constricta. These are documented adult microhabitats. The revision does not establish a complete larval life history for the species.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
