Novito, Dean 2007 Journal Aug. 2 La Mexilla, Guatemala to San Cristobal, Mexico We crossed the border to Mexico today, which took forever because of the car permit. On the way to San Cristobal we drove to Laguna Chamula microwave station ~15 km SSE of Cacaterango del Valle. Fred and Bob Deit had collected 2 B. hartwegi here in the 70s. The forest at the top is now totally trashed, but was clearly beautiful before. There are still some pine and oak trees with good bromeliads, but many trees have been cut down and turned into charcoal. Soon there will be nothing left here. We searched in bromeliads and logs from 17:40-19:40 but found no corps. Gustavo found a rat in a log. We gave up and drove on to San Cristobal. 35:16.49/77N, 92.31866W G584,7m acc.), 2355m elev. Aug. 4-5 San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico The night of Aug. 4, Fred, Jon, Paul Elias (!), Steve Deivan, Ricardo and I skipped the Plethodontid Conference field trip to Tzintchuitz to go look for B. hartwegi at the type locality. We got confused and went ~1 km too far on the old road to Justita Gutierrez. We searched a roadside along a dirt road ~6.5km W of San Cristobal for ~20min but it was very dry and I got only an M. moreleti. Tonight, we walked trails and a road at Zoologico San Jose, 5.5km W of San Gris (Fred, Paul, Gustavo, Carlos and D). Paul found a big Pleisthylys and a subadult B. hartwegi; and Carlos got an adult male B. hartwegi. We searched from approx. 19:45-20:45, and the weather was rainy and cool.
