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.

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.

We turned off on a dirt road towards El Paraiso and drove for 14.6 km to a high point between El
