Only a single remaining population of this species is known, occurring immediately upslope of a busy highway on Maui. Not collected since the late 19ths.

seems to be still alive as of 1996 Despite intensive surveys over the last 5 years on Maui and Hawaii--the islands on which it was historically known, this species has only been recently rediscovered in one population on East Maui. The immature habits are unknown, but it is thought that they may breed in the pockets of water at the bases of leaves of tropical plants or wet banks or leaf litter. Adults are weak fliers and stay close to vegetation and steep, moist, fern-covered banks. hbs.bishopmuseum.org/endangered/nesiot.html |
