Finca Chiblae, Dept Huerto-mango.
2 July
We then took to the field - a long ago cut-over
place & peeled more bark- got more big
brano. They are only found under bark- but
there they may be common (up to 3/piece bark).
Remember that this is quite similar to the
animal at Barillas, so the natural habitat
may well be bromeliads. The place was hard to
work, so we went on to another cleared
patch & rolled logs. Under bark I got a
Lepidophyrum mayae - young, & put a stainle, &
more big brano under bark. We then went
along the trail through a lot of virgin
rainforest, & amazingly got a "lotus" under
a small log in the virgin forest. We
kept going 'til we hit the type locality -
El Rayo.
By this time it was raining &
we had been out a long time. We took a
break at the coffee shed by the road,
than armed with elephant ears leaves as
umbrellas, walked home. Oh yes, along the way we
Got some Leptodactylids in the woods - both
Eleutherodactylus & Syphopos, I think. Also we
Got a five adult Lepidophyrum under wood
chips. We got back & changed showers @
road. It rained from about 11 AM - 4 PM. then
stopped - as of 7:50 PM. it is clear.
