B. Shulth 1977. Journal Huehuetenango, Dept. Huehuetenango. July sample for Lynn. We worked the same area as before for ~ 1/2 hour, I got 2 rostrata. Apparently the place needed some time to recover - so we split also to 1 Barisia. Strangely, rex were still common, near the stream & away from it, but rostrata were definitely rare. Something I forgot - just before we hit Santa Eulalia, there was a tremendous noise & the car stopped. One of the main bolts holding the rear end up to the body had shaken unloose, & the rear end came off on one side. Luckily, the bolt, nuts, & rubber bushing were all intact, & in the hold of a lot of improvisation & hammering, we got it all back together - the car, amazingly, was fine, except for a rather noisy muffler. Onward to Paquix. We wanted to get a series of S. malachiticus, & Paquix seemed like a good place. Armed w/ the mighty slingshot, we shot or hand caught 17 Scelops in about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. We then packed our bags & hit Huehuetenango around 6 PM. We found a really cheap hotel Hospedaje Viajero - an O.K. room, nice balcony, & really seedy bathroom, essentially non-functional,
