hanto, Sean 2009 journal Dec. 7 El Pozo, N of Berrizabal, Chiapas, Mexico We woke up somewhat late and drove to Tuxtla, then on to Berrizabal. Stopped at a friend of Antonio's house in the small village of Nista Hermosa, 7.5 km from the edge of town. We searched in 3 sets of bananas in town for ~30 min and got 3 Bolitoglossa that may be B. occidentalis - they are quite large and rather dark. We then stopped in the next settlement, Chichumac, 10.5 km from the edge of Berrizabal, and searched in both red and green bananas for 30 min until it got dark. Found 4 Bolitoglossa (all in red bananas); they are smaller and lighter in color, and I would guess they are reflexens. The area between these 2 sites is a forest (apparently secondary) that seems pretty dry but apparently has some bromeliads. The contact zone between the two species may be in this area. We drove on to El Pozo, the cyclodactylus niger type locality. We searched from 18:40-19:40 but only found 1 Adelphicos and 4 Craugastor spp. The night was dry and nearly cloudless, so conditions for finding amphurians were poor. Antonio has looked here many times under all different weather conditions, and believes this species is extinct. The habitat is more fragmented than when I was here in 2007, but still has some very big trees and lots of rocks with cracks and little caves. We gave up and returned to Tuxtla. lost 1 Bolitoglossa in field
