roots, dear 2007 journal July 30 Area around Santa Cruz del Quiche, Depto. El Quiche, Guatemala (cont.) we stopped for 40 min and searched in a pine forest with many excellent stumps and logs, but found nothing (15.13317°N, 91.13708°W [LWG584, 11m acc.,], 2142m elev.). Finally, we stopped near Santa Xhoyinup and found 1 Plectrohyla in ~10min of searching in the roadbank. We drove back to Santa Cruz, had dinner and returned to the spot where Carlos found the Zilon, but it was late and we didn't get anything more. Total for day: 1 Phadina 1 Zilon 1 Xiphonemphus 1 Plectrohyla July 31 "Avil Ridge", high point on Panamericana, Depto. Joticaapan, Guatemala We left Quiche and drove to the high area of CA-1 between los Encuentros and Cuatro Caminos to find B. rustiata and P. rex. We first searched near a town called Nueva Santa Catarina cltahucan, but most of the land was being used to grow corn, and we only found 2 Miesopsis and 1 Sceloporus in ~15min searching. We continued on CA-1 toward Xela, and went south on a road 1.6km from Nueva Santa Catarina cltahucan. We searched in great bunchgrass habitat with many good rocks 0.6km from CA-1 on this road from ~12:10-12:55 but found only 1 Sceloporus, 1 Burps and 1 Miesopsis. Fed then found 2 small B. minor under rocks right along the road. This area looked perfect for B. rustiata. We continued on and stopped 3.5km from CA-1
