Ronto, Sean 2007 Journal Copán Ruinas to Reserva Biológica Muisayote, Depts. Copán and Ocotepeque, Honduras Aug. 28 We left Copán Ruinas in the morning and drove back to Buena Nista. Rolando Intierro (I had his name wrong before) was there waiting for us with 13 B. rufescens, a B. mexicana, and 2 B. delfini (one a small juvenile) that someone from the village had collected. We then drove to Santa Rosa de Copán and on towards Nuevo Ocotepeque. We turned off to the south on a dirt road from the high point on the highway into the Reserva Biológica Muisayote. There were nice big trees but no bromeliads in most places. We found an area of very nice cloud forest with big, old oak trees with tons of good bromeliads and tree ferns ~0.5km from the highway. We opened bromeliads here from 94:10-16:10 but found nothing (14.45948°N, 89.06625°W [WGS 84, 10m acc., 7,218m elev]. We were looking for B. cmentis, but may have been slightly too high. We then drove further on the road and up to a communication tower at nearly 2300m elev. There were no big bromeliads here, but I found an adult Mesaspis. While we were opening bromeliads at the first spot, we left the salamanders in the car since it was cloudy and cool. The sun came out and they all died and dropped their tails—a disaster. We drove back to Santa Rosa de Copán, where some sort of festival was going on and every single hotel was full, so we continued to La Entrada. We stayed in the Hotel [illegible] San Carlos, where I fixed all the specimens.
