Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico to Ixcoy, Huehuetenango,
Guatemala.
22-24 Jun. in the livestock - otherwise nothing. We drove
to San Juan Ixcoy, & are staying at
the [illegible] hospedaje in town - it's really neat.
25 June
San Juan Ixcoy, Dept. Huehuetenango, Guat.
We worked out of Ixcoy today back
toward Huehuetanago, basically hitting 3
spots. First, we worked the type locality
for Chiroptus tridion cuquematures - a patch
of wet pine & oak woodland near Capztin.
(see catalogue). The area has been cut; it's
easy to walk in, with many good stumps
& logs around. The Chirons are primarily
under bank - both oak & pine. I had the
best luck under bank in pine stumps -
occasionally 3 in 1 stump. Also, we found a
bunch of B. rostrata, under banks & under
cave objects. We stayed about 1 1/2-2
hours, then left around 11:30 AM. On
up the road a km or so is the
B. rostrata - P. rex locality, where we wanted
a rostrata sample for Lynn Howck. The area
has a nice creek with lots of felled
logs & stumps around it. We collected under
objects & banks, getting more rostrata
