They differ from A. flavicaudusin vertebral counts and cephalic pores (Table 2), and in having numerous small brown spots along the posterodorsal surface of the head (Pl. 1c). They represent a new record for the Hawaiian Archipelago.  Material examined of Hawaiian Apterichtus klazingai:  BPBM7906, 21(100-266), Waawaa Pt., Kona Coast, Hawaii. 923906812 U. S. Hawaii
