Distribution, area 10: Nuuanu, locality 100B-7?, elevation 1,250- 

 1,400 feet, Meinecke, 1911, 1914, 1916; 100B-12, elevation 1,150- 

 1,250 feet; 100B-13, elevation 1,150-1,350 feet; 100B-14, eleva- 

 tion 1,250-1,500 feet, I sinistral, all collected by C. M. Cooke, Jr. 

 (figs. 3, ^a, p. 29). The ^leineckc locality may be wrongly plotted one 

 ridge south of where it actually is, because Dr. Cooke, who carefully 

 worked over this section of Nuuanu and made sketch maps of the 

 region, does not report any apexfulva from the region of locality 

 100B-7? Other collectors of A. a. cinerea are Wilder, BBM 50504, 

 R. A. Cooke, BBi\I 58138. Holotype in BM, collected in Nuuanu by 

 Perkins.
