We drove back up the road and parked next to an area planted with cardamom, coffee and some bananas. We searched for about half an hour in the planted areas and in some forest on the edge of the cultivated areas. There were some limestone caves and a large chasm, and some large trees with epiphytes but mostly smaller trees. Malvula found one B. imperans in a banana leaf (15.86453°N, 91.21684°W [WGS84], 13m acc.), 767 meters. The spot where we searched was 2.6km N of the turnoff to Chillac (Buenos Aires de) and 17.1 km N of Barillas by road. We then drove up among the adults and took the turnoff to Buenos Aires de Chillac, where we stopped to show the photos. No one seemed to know the salamanders, but Ted left the photos and said he would pay Q100 for either salamander. The area around town was entirely converted to cafetalos and other crops, and I didn't see any patches of forest remaining. One boy in town named Emilio said he had seen B. jacksoni in a bunch of moss on the branch of a coffee bush in his backyard. We took him with us and drove up the road several kilometers further and up a side road, in Palmaras de Chillac. We went in his backyard, which was a plot planted with coffee and bananas. He showed us where he had seen the salamander and we searched in the banana trees and under moss and leaves. Carlos found Linia under moss and 1 Linia under some leaves and sticks.
