Parts, Dean 2009 Journal Cuautlapan and Fortin de las Flores, Nayarit, Mexico Dec. 29 Started the day by searching in a vacant lot with a lot of bricks and some banana trees. In about 30 min of searching, I found a tiny juvenile B. platydoctyla under a brick. Went back to the cafetal above Cuautlapan to the W and searched under stones, logs + leaf litter for ~45 min but found nothing. Moved on to Fortin and searched in vacant lots and along streets near the railroad for ~45 min; found 2 tiny gelae under a rock. Walked W into "Reserva Metal", an area along an old railway that leads to the cuota highway bridge into town. Searched under stones and in trash behind houses for ~45 min but found nothing. Went back to Cuautlapan and searched in several people's yards. Found a B. rufescens under a wooden crate. Drove to Orijata to search in [illegible] city parks (Dave Wake's suggestion for B. platydoctyla) but couldn't find one with cover objects. Gave up and drove back to DF. The day was cloudy but not rainy, and fairly warm.
