Our previous calculations for the energy splittings of the states 2s-italic/sub 1/2/-2p/sub 1/2/ and 2s-italic/sub 1/2/-2p/sub 3/2/ for the muonic ions ..mu../sup -/-Li, ..mu../sup -/-Be, and ..mu../sup -/-B are extended to include hyperfine-structure corrections. The results show that there is a rich spectrum of well-resolved hyperfine transitions lying throughout the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum. A measurement of the transition frequencies would provide a precise determination of the nuclear radius and the hyperfine-structure coupling constants.
