Janito, Sean 2005 Journal Finca La Choula, road from San Marcos to San Rafael Pue de la Cuesta, Dept. San Marcos, Guatemala. Pls. 3 We met the hotel owner, Ruben Perez, this morning--it's the same man who helped arrange access to fincas during the original San Marcos work in the '70s. He told us to go to his finca, La Choula, near Buena Vista and said there was still forest there. We drove there after breakfast; it is near the aldea of So Sucha on the N side of the road between Buena Vista and Finca las Melimbras. We drove to the end of the road to the finca manager's house, but he was out. We walked past the end of the road (west) into an area that had been replanted with cypress trees. The area to the N was beautiful forest with very large trees and huge bromeliads, seemingly all the way to the slopes of Nican Fajmulcer. Near the fence dividing forest from cypresses were some medium-sized trees with many or a few bromeliads in them. We spent the next hour or so cutting down bromeliads and looking inside. We found a total of 7 salamanders: 1 B. franklini; 3 B. engelhardti; 1 B. flavomaculis (on the ground in leaf litter) and 2 dark brown, very fast and active salamanders that we decided were Hendertithm bramehaves (14.94679 N, 91.86997 W [WGS84], 12 m asc., 2057 m elev.). We probably looked through 20 bromeliads. The trees we found salamanders in were somewhat isolated, since they were growing among cypresses. We also found 2 Badgermys (and saw 2 more)
