Barrillas to San Juan Chxey, Sierra de los Cuchumatanes,
Depto. Huehuetenango, Guatemala (cont.)
Nov. 1 ... 5 km S of San Juan Chxey, c[illegible] about 4-5 min of
? Mateo Intan?
searching in rotten logs and stumps, cl found 5 B. rostrata and
1 Hyla walkerii (15.82044°N, 91.50665°W [WGS84, 7m acc.],
3004m elev.). Malvina finally found our first Pseudoeurycea
rex, a large adult, inside a log. The others collected 12 more
B. rostrata (for 17 total), 2 Mesaspis m[illegible]i, and 1 Bufo
cocarti. It was quite cold and misty, with light but
constant rain. We drove on, passing through Soloma and
San Juan Chxey, and went to the type locality of
Dendrobates cuchumatana, 8.5km S of San Juan Chxey,
which we discovered was very close (1km or less) from
our first stop in the Cuchumatanes at Yularitz. We worked
the roadcut with headlamps for 45 min in both directions.
c[illegible] found a Bolitoglossa (ristrata?) in a hole in the bank
(15.57158°N, 91.45181°W [WGS84, 17m acc.], 2839m elev.) and
carlos found one as well. Ernesto collected 3 B. hartwegi.
It was very cold and rainy. We ate in San Juan Chxey and
tried to get a hotel room, but the hotel owner was out
somewhere, so we had to drive back to Soloma to get
hotel rooms.
