Nihoa is a genus of South Pacific brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Tracey Churchill & Robert Raven in 1992. It is named after the island Nihoa, where the type species (N. mahina) is endemic.[2]
Male Nihoan trapdoor spiders (N. hawaiiensis) grow to almost 15 millimetres (0.59 in) long, including chelicerae. The females are larger, growing up to 21 millimetres (0.83 in).[3]
