site, Dear 2008 Journal Coro Pinala, Reserva de la Biosfera Quirra de las Minas, Depto. El Progreso, Guatemala July 26 Craig, Ted, Carlos, Nance, Jacobo, Rose, Hector and I walked towards Coro Pinala, and started searching in some superb logs and big piles of bark, without any success. We left at 09:00 and started searching around 09:30. Once again, we passed Eric on the trail and he had found 3 B. morio inside logs while searching for beetles. We stopped at Cuatro Caninos and I found a M. madoleti under a rock. Nance found a snake (either Coniophanes or Chajaphis) under a log walking on the road towards the towers. Ted, Carlos and I walked farther along the road while the others went up the trail towards the towers. They got a big C. godmani in the same pile of boards just up the trail from the road, in the same spot where we found one last time; and Ted got another M. madoleti at the junction of the trail and the road. I found another Coniophanes or Chajaphis in a small rotten log and a juvenile C. godmani on sunny rocks. We searched until 14:00, including 30 min for lunch. Craig, Nance and I then spent 40 min searching in moss in an extremely mossy area of fir forest. The others went up the road in the opposite direction towards Estancia de la Virgen as the towers from Cuatro Caninos. Carlos found a huge female B. meliana under a log. We all headed back down to the cabins at ~ 15:30, and spent the rest of the afternoon numbering and swabbing. Kauri found another juvenile C. godmani in front of the cabins. It was sunny all day, so we didn't go out at night to search.
