Pinto, Jean 2007 Journal May 3 Finca Planada de Marzoth, Sierra de las Minas, Depto. Zacapa, Guatemala (cont)... to work in this area but found nothing more. I'm sure that if we had more time to work here, we would have found more salamanders. It started to rain at 17:40 and it became hard to work, so we stopped for the day and started back, getting soaked in the process. It stopped raining by the time we got almost back to the house. We cut down three very big bromeliads from a pine tree on the edge of the forest and got a big B. helminthi - a nice way to end the day. We returned to the house, where Don Julio was waiting for us with coffee and dinner ready - he really went out of his way to host us. He told us stories about his life and plans for the finca - he wants to build some cabins and start an extension program. He says that he has made a big effort to conserve the forest, and it appears to be true. May 4 We woke up early this morning and went out with Rodrigo after breakfast along an old road that goes down from the house. After crossing 3 creeks, we walked uphill into some primary forest. We started opening bromeliads at 9:00 and found 2 Bolitoglossa in bromeliads; one of which lost its tail and later died. I think that the larger, while one is Bolitoglossa zacapensis, the new species we are describing from here. Just up the road, we found 2 more Bolitoglossa in bromeliads; at least one of which is the new species, I think. B. zacapensis has front, less webbed toes than B. helminthi.
