Seib, h 1984 Cuernavaca to Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico 5 Nov. Chilpancingo, staying at hotel Tacarandas. There is a big theatre heard and we caught "Zona Muerta" (Dead Zone) for 120 pesos. Chilpancingo to Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico 6 Nov. Wrote up early, had breakfast, wrote field notes, catalogued, preserved, got ice, and set by the pool. Prepared to go back to Mezcala, but tried to time it so we could arrive at Tierra Colorada about 1600-1700 to see if we might get bats. Although it's the full moon, if we can find Balaneopteryx at their roost in boulders, we me bay able to net them just outside the roost when they're not echolocating intensely, but flying more by memory. At Mezcala they had a few more Bipes and I live suerte that I could identify, although it appears to be some diurnal species. Arrived Tierra Colorada at 1730 and looked for Aulis. Only saw and caught 1 juvenile on a boulder just before dark, and a sleeping adult well after dark. Also saw Phylodactylus. We were able to see some bats roosting in the boulders, small brown bats with two white lines on the back and wing sars: Saccopteryx leptura. We walked back to the car to get a hand net to see
