Type locality. Highest point of Lanipo Trail (2,520 ft.), Mau���umae Ridge, Ko���olau Range, Hawaii (~ 21��18���49 ������N 157��46���20������W). Ecological type. Moss-hopper. Habitat. Terrestrial in moss on windward side of ridge. Size. 8.5 mm. Diagnosis ( male ). With the characters of the genus. Remarks. According to Miyamoto & Morino (2004) Laniporchestia lanipo belongs to Platorchestia group 3. Unfortunately a female was illustrated and described. Only gnathopods 1 and 2 were illustrated for the male. Although the author���s claims that all other male characters are like the female, this may not account for subtle differences in pereopod 7 for instance. We have been able to diagnose the genus on non-incrassate characters except for the male gnathopod 1. Distribution. Hawaii, Oahu (Richardson 1991).
