Panto, Sean 2008 Journal Jan. 10 Marcos and Malcolm met us for breakfast and we drove to the village of San Luis Los Planos, on the north side of Montaña de Santa Barbara. We met Don Adán, a friend of Marcos and Bob, and drove through the town of El Sauce to a coffee field on the edge of the forest. We walked south from here and arrived at the edge of primary forest in less than 10 min. We walked uphill on a loop trail to a high point on the trail at 1700m. We had lunch and then started searching for at 12:00. There were some big trees, although parts of the forest were apparently logged ~40 yrs ago, but not many bromeliads. The first bromeliad I opened had a D. santibariensis, not previously known from here. I got another in a bromeliad lower down on the path. After opening the few bromeliads we could find, Fred, Marcos and I started raking in leaf litter and opening logs (Adán watched our packs while Malcolm birded). We walked up to 1800m and searched until ~15:00 without success. Starting down, I raked through leaves between the buttresses of a massive tree and saw a very tiny Nototriton limospectatus, which escaped in the leaf litter despite our best efforts. I continued searching and caught an adult in the same tree - what luck! The litter here was deep, which must be the key for this species. On the way down, Fred got a Craugastor laticeps under a board. We finished walking and searching at 17:00 and drove back to Los Planos happy - I didn't expect to get a Nototriton today.
