Pinto, Sean 2007 Journal Colan area, Depto. Alta Verapaz, Guatemala (cont.) Aug. 21... through pine needles near the finca entrance from 08:30-10:00. We got nothing in bromeliads, but Carlos A. found a big adult Bolitoglossa mulleri under pine needles-surprising habitat to me. The worker then found 1 more in a grassy area under a tire. Carlos and Carlos found 2 Ninia sobrae and 1 N. diademata inside the same log. Carlos N., Jed and cl went back to Finca Cuzmarc and searched in a big, open area behind the house where the pine trees had been cut a few years ago. There were tons of great logs, boards and pieces of bark to search in, and we got 3 B. mulleri, 3 B. ruefscens and 2 more Ninia sobrae, all under cover objects. We had hoped to find the black salamanders (presumably B. melanina) here-Carlos N. had found 2 in a log at this spot years ago. We searched here from 10:20-11:20, and then went back to Finca Rosario de Fatima, where the worker had continued searching and had found an Adelphios. We drove to Colan and then to San Juan Chamela, leading south out of town to find some forest with bromeliads. We took a right turn after climbing to ~1700m. All of the forest was secondary and rather dry. We opened 2 of the very few bromeliads we could find, and 1 big bromeliad near the village of Batexa had 2 B. helminthi in it. These were what cl needed from here, so we drove back to Colan and then on to Purulha, where we spent the night.
