2, see text Uahuka is a genus of South Pacific sheet weavers endemic to the Marquesas Islands that was first described by Lucien Berland in 1935.

[1] The genus is named after Ua Huka on the Marquesas Islands.

It is one of several genera that Lucien Berland named after islands in the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s.

Other names derived from islands in the Marquesas are Uapou and Nukuhiva.

[2] While both species call the Marquesas Islands group home, each is endemic to a specific island: U. spinifrons has only been found on Ua Huka and U. affinis has only been found on Hiva Oa,[4] a larger island about 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Ua Huka.
