Rovito, Sean 2008 Journal March 29 Area N of Pueblo Nuevo & distahuacan, Chiapas, Mexico We left Furtela around 15:30 yesterday, after dealing with all our specimens from El Friinfo. We drove north to Pueblo Nuevo & distahuacan) and stayed at the Siempre Norte cabanas, just south of town. They have 4ha of very nice liquidambar and pine forest. We arrived around 17:30 and [illegible] opened 8 or so nice, big bromeliads in the forest until just after it got dark, but found nothing (17.14348 N, 92.88740 W [WGS84, 19 m acc.], 1611 meter.). The Hotel was full for tonight (too bad - it was nice), so we drove to Pueblo Nuevo (Hotel closed), Rayon (no hotel) and finally to Tapilula, where we stayed in a tiny room on the playa. We drove back to Puerto del Niento, the high point between Pueblo Nuevo and Rayon, and opened bromeliads in a tiny forest patch with 3 big, old trees and some secondary growth. We opened about [illegible] 20 bromeliads and got 3 B. reflexens, and I got a Diphleumorphus under bank (17.2170 N, 92.96500 W [WGS84, 4 m acc.], 1875 m elev.). All is alarming how deforested this area is - all the flat land is now pasture or milpas; and the only big trees are on nearly vertical slopes above the road. We are here mostly to look for Cryptotetrax adwareletorisi, but I'm afraid he won't be in good enough forest to find it. We drove towards Rayon and stopped to open about 10 big bromeliads on the ground in pine forest just above the road, and we found 2 more B. reflexens (17.21053 N, 92.97479 W [WGS84, 8 m acc.], 1740 m elev.). We stopped at the C. adwareletorisi type locality, a creek next to the road in a canyon, 17.4 km N of Pueblo Nuevo (17.19875 N, 92.99046 W [WGS84, 9 m acc.], 1556 meter.).
