Ravito, Sean 2005 Journal Sept. 6 Corra de los Moros, Cerro de los Minos, Depto. Zacapa, Guatemala (cont.) ...opening bromeliads and searching in trunks and stumps until 1830 but we didn't find anything more. The habitat in this area was very good as well, and we could hear howler monkeys on the hill above us. We drove back down to the highway and the pine forest below the marble quarry looked like good habitat for mostly terrestrial salamanders (like B. melanura) but we had no time to search there. This area could use a lot more work in the future. The weather today was cloudy and warm. Sept. 7 San Jose Union, Depto. Zacapa, Guatemala We went to look for Cryptotriton mayesi, known only from the holotype. We drove from Rio Hondo and then to Escuintla, and then south on R0-5 for San Jose Union. We went SSE by road from San Jose Union and stopped 6.5 Km from town at an area of Cafetales. On the way from town, we passed through primary cloud forest with huge trees. I started searching in bromeliads from cypress trees at approximately 1200 but found nothing. Carlos and Ted moved on to riped bananas in the cafetal. Carlos quickly found an adult male salamander with brown speckling, swollen feet with somewhat triangular toes and black/brown speckled or mottled ventral coloration (14.93 768°N, 89.27569°W [WGS84], 9m acc., J, 1409m ele.) in a banana plant (CRVA1049). It appears to be either a Honduran species we aren't familiar with or a new species. Ted also found 3 B. infuscatus, and Carlos found a Amphisbaena taeniata. I found a nest of angry wasps. We searched here until 1420 and then drove 0.6 km down
