B.Shelly 1976 Journal Mexico: Veracruz, Sierra Chicalhuaxtla 31 Jan. moist, but not soaking wet. We worked for ~ 2 1/2 hours, and only got 3 salamanders. No other herps were seen. Ate lunch at the crest, then decided to move further down to look for Thorius and Panamodges. We worked down from the crest about 200 meters, then again started to look in extent. I got 2 B. rufescens in a lone banana tree, and one Lineatritus under a very large rock. Also Carlos picked up several more rufescens and 2 Lineatritus and Jim chopped a B. rufescens (?) in half. This animal was inside a rotten log in a large beetle cavity, unlike all the other rufescens we have caught. As we were working in this general area, a very light shower came down for about 15 minutes. We then went down to the casa of Victor Solano & worked the bananas & rocks around there. I got 2 more B. rufescens in another banana tree, one of which was about 10 ft. off of the ground. Also, these animals seem to be clinging to both the tree & on the axil that is peeled, & can be several layers into the plant. Carlos also got more rufescens as well as 1 Lineatritus & 1 Thorius, both under rocks. This area was around 1100 meters.
