A checklist list of arachnid species from Kipahulu Valley, Maui, below 2000 feet. Discusses habitat specificity. Identifies 5 new species in the Tetragnathidae and Salticidae. Locates 5 endemic species not known to exist in the region (Ariadne perkinsi, Theridion grallator, Argyrodes hawaiiensis, Tetragnatha hawaiensis, and Zelotes pacificus). Provides management implications. Suggests that a buffer-zone be created to protect these fragile habitats; and that items helicopter-transported into the area be inspected for the presence of exotic spiders and insects.
