The nictropoli.s of the well-known typical fahu is Utnloa, on the north end of 
llaiatea, the specific centre of P. anriculata. It is very abundant on the trunks and 
foliage of trees and bushes. From its headquarters it has migrated throughout all 
parts of the island, and notwithstanding its wide diffusion it presents the same features
