Carito, Bear 2007 Journal Iadegama Sec, to Tres Glincos, P.I. La Amistad, Prov. Puntarenas, Costa Rica (cont.) Dec. 22 ... diversity of this area seems to be higher than above. Atracia a bird, not just for herbs but also for invertebrates in bromeliads and plants. There is more of an understory here of small trees and shrubs, along with some Chusquea, and many more bromeliads. From this point, we walked further down and the forest changed to just oak trees, Chusquea and small golms - it didn't look very good for salamanders and we had already searched unsuccessfully in the leaf litter here on Dec. 16. Near the edge of the primary forest, we came to an area of forest with stand of bromeliads on the ground and a few very low in small trees. We opened 34 bromeliads here. Hugo found a tiny Bolitoglossa with a brown dorsal and a gray unspotted venter; it may be a juvenile of another species. He and Hinds each got a big adult of the species with white spots on the venter (9.1239 13'N, 83.06758'W [WGS84, 13 mace], 2165m elevar), I am surprised that we haven't found anything under logs today - seems like some salamander should be there. We walked out of the forest and back to Tres Glincos. After a dinner of toast and more wine, Cachii and I prepared all the specimens. We finished at midnight, so I didn't go out into the forest to search. I think we had a very successful trip overall.
