Ravito, Sean 2008 July 23 San Agustin Acasaguastlán, Depto. El Progreso, Guatemala We started our joint MVZ-MVSHNAT expedition to the Sierra de los Minas, having given talks at the Universidad de San Carlos and met with the people from the school of biology. The following people came: MVZ- me, Ted Papenfuss, Craig Moritz, Rawie Bowie, Nance Norendburg; MVSHNAT: Carlos Paquay, Sergio Perez, Enio Cano, Bianca Bosarreyes, Rosa Jimenez, Jacobo Conde. We drove to San Agustin Acasaguastlán and stayed at the Fincentro Aguilar, on the outskirts of town. We quickly went to the garden and found a bunch of stuff, including Bufo marinus, Basiliscus vittatus, and Amateses alligatorius. Rawie and Rosa set up nets and caught 3 Feridas greja while Carlos, Jacobo, Nance and I drove about 45 min up towards the reserve to the forested stream where we repaired a flat tire in May. The stream had lots of water and the forest in general was rather wet and seemed great for frogs. We searched for ~45 min, up to a point ~200m from the road where the stream emerged from the ground in some very nice forest (Broodleaf). We found 1 Craugastor, 1 Rana williamsi and 1 Rana berlanderi. Heading down, we were stopped both by the police and by a band of shotgun-wielding vigilantes. Back at the hotel, we got a D. brandtii, 2 leptodactylus melanotus and 2 B. lutkeini near the stream in ponds. Sergio caught ~40 lizards in mist nets in the same area. The day was hot and partly cloudy, but it didn't rain.
