Royster, Dean 2006 Journal San Marcos to Tapachula, Depts. San Marcos, Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico Aug. 29 We left San Marcos and drove to Tapachula, Mexico, where we spent the night. Between San Marcos and Malacatan, we stopped in Alden Colina II and searched in a banana grove next to a house from 1300-1320. We found 6 B. occidentalis under banana leaves (CRVA1035-1041: 14.99770°N, 91.95895°W [WGS84], 6m acc.), 758m elev). We also saw many tiny Craugastor here. We drove on to Tapachula and were hoping to look for B. thelwanus in roads in the rain, but it only rained from about 1600-1730 and the roads dried out. We drove up the road to Nueva Alemania and found a Bufus gansing on the road ~1.7km from the turnoff to Carrillo Puerto (14.9775°N, 92.2472°W [WGS84], 6m acc.), 342m elev). We swaddled it and released it later. We then took the road to Carrillo Puerto and found a Brachycephalus leuconotus 2.3km from the intersection with the road to Nueva Alemania (14.96002°N, 92.21344°W [WGS84], 8m acc.), 275m elev). We then found a Bufus walkiaps 3.7km up from the intersection with the main road. We drove further up the road but found nothing more; most parts were too dry for salamanders. Metajinta area, Chiapas, Mexico Aug. 30 We spent much of the day getting Mexican car insurance and getting the car through customs. We then drove to Metajinta, which took a long time because the road was badly damaged in last year's hurricane. We then drove back up to the pass on July 200 and
