Ditch trail east of Keanae. Maui, elevation about 1500 feet, 

 on Cyrtandra sp. (Tinihcrlakc, July, 1919). Described from 

 two males, five females, and one young. The genitalia of this 

 species isolates it from all others. For the present I place it 

 next to /. vtaidensis. 



Ilburnia coprosmicola Muir. 



A series of both sexes and young from Kau desert, Kilauea, 

 Hawaii, elevation 3800 feet, on Coprosma ernodioides. There 

 is little difiference in color compared with the type specimens 

 from 29 miles, Olaa, in spite of the difiference in climatic 

 conditions.
