Also known as Ciridops anna, Ula-ai-hawane

The ula-ai-hāwane (Ciridops anna) is an extinct species of small Hawaiian honeycreeper. The term ula-ai-hāwane is a Hawaiian phrase translating to "red [bird] that eats hāwane". It was only ever reported from the forested mountains of the Kohala, Hilo and Kona districts on the island of Hawaii. Fossil remains reveal that it (and at least one closely related species, Ciridops tenax) also existed at one time on other Hawaiian islands. The species is named after Anna Dole, wife of Sanford B. Dole.
