It is endemic to Nihoa . The length of the forewings is about 7 mm. Adults are on wing at least in August and September. The ground color of the forewings is brown with a few darker and lighter scales scattered throughout. The discal area is clouded with poorly defined blackish spots in the cell. There is a curving poorly defined whitish band running through the terminal area and evenly spaced spots on the distal half of the costa and along the termen at the vein endings. The hindwings are very light brown, except the anal margin, where faint spots are sometimes visible. The fringe is very light brown. A reared specimen made a cocoon of thin white silk into which it incorporated a large and varied amount of debris. Included are numerous pellets of Lepidoptera frass, several kinds of plant parts and fragments, parts of dead insects, cast larval skins of insects, the larval cases of two species of Hyposmocoma , and representatives of terrestrial Mollusca of the families Tornatellinidae and Endodontidae .

These spiders are hunters that dig a hole near rocks cover it with a concealed trapdoor. These burrows are excavated completely with the spider s jaw. When prey approaches or falls in, the spider pounces on it. Then its abnormally large pedipalps are used to take food into the mouth. Prior to the 1980s, trapdoor spiders were not thought to exist in Hawaii. Upon their discovery, the genus was given the name Nihoa , because it was thought to exist nowhere else. Eventually, over 23 species across the Pacific were found. The species epithet, mahina , means moon in the Hawaiian language , referring how Sheila Conant discovered the spider by the light of the moon. References Rauzon, Mark J. 2001 .
