About Canaceoides angulatus
Canaceoides angulatus can be separated from C. hawaiiensis by the arrangement of hairs on the femur: they cover the posterior surface irregularly rather than forming two ordered rows.
Natural history and identification
Canaceoides angulatus can be separated from C. hawaiiensis by the arrangement of hairs on the femur: they cover the posterior surface irregularly rather than forming two ordered rows. The 2016 review documents the species in Hawaiʻi and lists a wider range including Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. Its Hawaiian distribution includes an added Kahoʻolawe record. It should consequently not be presented as an endemic Hawaiian radiation member.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
Atlas occurrence category: Present. Hawaiian Canaceoides review records C. angulatus from Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, Molokaʻi, Maui, Hawaiʻi and other Pacific localities; the taxon is nonnative to Hawaiʻi.
