Rivas, Sept 2019 Journal Sept.3 Finca las Delicias, El Guaro, Depto. Managua, Nicaragua Picked up export permit in Managua and drove south from Managua on the highway to Rivas. Stopped at El Guaro & drove past antennas to Finca las Delicias, owned by a priest, where Javier had found Dermophis in the past. We took the caretaker and raked through leaf litter and looked under logs in a catetal from 12:45-15:30. Conditions were dry, but soil was moist under litter & logs. I found lots of Dermophis burrows and dug them up in the soft volcanic soil, without success. I think that the caecilians were probably deep in their burrows, and we would need wetter conditions to find them. I did find a Liinia selae (12.09085N, 86.27888W [WG584], ±7m), 885m elev.), and Lenin got a Xalophrys. This finca seemed like a great place for Dermophis under better conditions. We drove to Leon to spend the night. Sept. 4 Palermo, west of Leon on road to Supaya beach, Depto. Leon, Nicaragua We spent the morning sorting specimens, etc and then drove out from Leon on a new road to the beach. Stopped in a lake along road and threw in 6 turtle traps. Went to the beach, leaving traps in for 3 1/2 hours (14:30-17:00) in shallow, muddy water. We caught 4 Trachemys with very little effort before returning to Leon. Dropped off Javier & Lenin, then drove to Managua to spend the night.
