Parts, Dean 2005 Journal 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.
