Fino, Dear 2007 Journal Finca El Wdian, Depto. Alta Verapaz, Guatemala (cont) Aug. 18 ... got 5 B. subperens. I also got 2 Dmanotodes in the bananas. After lunch, we walked on the footpath toward the nearby community and stopped to search in a cardamon plantation for about 30 min. In 1978, Ted and Bob Dietz had found many B. delfleini here, but the cardamon had been cut back and the leaves put in piles. The rest of the ground was cleared, and all of the salamanders were found under the piles of leaves. The fields now appear to be mostly abandoned - we were told that the price of cardamon had dropped, and most fincas were no longer growing it. There were no piles of cut leaves as we searched in leaf litter for ~30 min without success. Ted then got our 2 guides to talk to some locals along the path, and one man agreed to look for salamanders, and to tell other people to do the same. They seem to know B. delfleini - the word for salamander in Kekchi is al'al. They also seem very familiar with Pyxomandis, which they said lives in rotten logs up on the higher mountain in the good forest. We stopped animals until dinner, and someone brought us 2 A. moreletti. We searched around the finca house from 20:30-21:40. It was quite dry since it didn't rain today. I found a B. owenelli on a small tree in front of the house, and we found some Boulusie in a cistern but couldn't reach them.
