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.
