"Zacil Hidge", near high point on Panamericana Apto.-Jeticapan, Guatemala (cont)
July 31 ... and searched under stones and in the roadbank for ~15 min.
Augusto got an adult male P. rex and a juvenile B. morio in the
roadbank, and I got a Scoloporus. We drove back to a point
2.7 Km from the main highway and searched (mostly in the roadbank)
from 13:30-14:30. Augusto got 2 big adult female B. morio; and
we got 1 more Scoloporus. There is a lot of good bunchgrass in
this area and some forest, so the habitat seemed very good. Finally,
we drove further down the road and searched in bunchgrass and in
a fairly impacted cypress forest near a town for ~30 min, but got
nothing except a cut-in-half Theropsis that Carlos found on the
trail. It was raining on us by this point. We had searched all
the good spots we could find, so we drove on to Huehuetenango
and spent the evening fixing specimens.
Total for day: 4 P. moreleti
5 B. morio
4 Scoloporus
1 Theropsis
1 P. rex
Aug. 1 Montanas de Culeo, Dept. Huehuetenango, Guatemala
We tried to leave Huehue early this morning but failed (as usual) and
drove to La Mesilla on the Mexican border. Fed wanted to scout out
wet road banks and return to them at night to look for B. stuarti.
We backed into a car in the hotel parking lot and spent most of
an hour dealing with that ($800.00 mistake) and then drove 5 to
El Reposo on CA-1. We turned off on a dirt road towards El
Paraiso and drove for 14.6 km to a high point between El
