B.Staffin 1977. Journal Huehuetenango, Dept. Huehuetanago 6 July. San Mateo Ixtatan to photo their bazar church then went on to our first locality - btw San Mateo & Santa Eulalia where we hoped to get a series of B.rostrata (Note - this morning we got a big, really nice Phylomedusa on the wall of the hotel in Barillas). We collected the pine woods at about 10,000 ft. - in the woods we got almost exclusively P.rex - in all habitats. We also got several Barisia, some Boto (calliops group) & a few Sceloporus malachiticus. Then by the roadside more out in the open we started hitting mostly rostrata - w a few rex, plus the other keepers. Total was rex - 35 rostrata - 37 Barisia - ~6 Boto - ~9 Sceloporus - ~5. The separation of rex & rostrata is pretty dramatic here - rostrata were very rare deep in the woods (we got 2) & rex were quite uncommon near the road. This may be due to drainage (flat in the woods) or exposure to sun but it suggests that there may be good ecological separation. Also, the rostrata logs were often really rotten - so there also may be some sort of succession from rex -> rostrata habitat Anyhow we bagged our catch & moved on to Captain to try to beef up our rostrata
