Outlines a 'substrate-rearing' technique developed to allow researchers to identify Drosophila pupae still within plant matrices (i.e., invisible to observers), in order to produce more complete data on the number of Drosophila species inhabiting an area. Uses this technique to produce a list of Drosophila in Kipahulu Valley.
