Ronto, Dean 2007 Journal Saddle above El Rincon, Dept. San Marcos, Guatemala Aug. 13 Carlos took a bus back to Guatemala City this morning to spend a few days with his family. Jed and I walked from El Rincon up to the saddle area, where we found ~5 B. morio under cover objects along the path in the forest. We walked SW down the path to the cypress plantation where we found Dendrotriton last year. We opened ~10 bromeliads in the cypress and small hardwood trees but got only 1 small B. linckii. I climbed up a big hardwood tree on the edge of the cypress (same tree where we got Dendrotriton last year) and pulled down ~10 bromeliads. We found 12 D. brongniartianus in these; 1 bromeliad had 4 salamanders. On all, we spent ~1 hour searching here. We then spent 30min searching on the edge of the cypress plantation under cover objects. We walked down a path and quickly got into nice primary cloud forest, where we searched under great logs for Dendrotriton for 1 hour but found nothing. We walked up to the saddle and searched from 15:20-16:30 under all available (few) cover objects and in bromeliads, but got only a single Sceloporus. Was hoping to find B. restrictus. I got a B. morio a little down the path back to El Rincon. We had light rain in the afternoon and evening. After dinner, we drove to the south transect and searched with lights on the roadcut from 19:20-20:10. I got a big B. linckii, a small B. franklinii and a possible hybrid between the 2 species; looks like B. franklinii but is the size of B. linckii. Spent night at Hotel Pery.
