Genus Libystes A. Milne-Edwards, 1867 View in CoL
Libystes edwardsi Alcock, 1900 View in CoL [ Alcock, 1900b: 306 type localities: Persian Gulf and Andaman Is.] was listed as occurring in the Hawaiian Is. by McLaughlin et al. (2005) although no published, reliable records are known. The species is being revised by P.K.L. Ng and T. Naruse.
Libystes nitidus A. Milne-Edwards, 1867 View in CoL (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867: 285 [type locality: Zanzibar; type material: MNHN-B2039 S]) was recorded by Cano (1889b: 225) from O‘ahu and his record listed by Rathbun (1906: 834) and Edmondson (1946: 278; 1954: 225, fig. 4a, b). There are no subsequent records from the archipelago. Libystes nitidus View in CoL appears to be restricted to the Indian Ocean (P.K.L. Ng personal communication) so Cano’s specimen or specimens, which appear to be lost, could have been mislabeled.
