Jan,25 San José Maxial, Depto. Huehuetenango, Guatemala (cont) ... 33 different owners,8 of whom are dead. We then drove to the junction of the road to Mulhitz Grande (unfinished) and searched in a road bank with limestone that had big cracks. I quickly got an adult Bradipitron and 2 Craugaster , all out foraging? I then found a big adult Nustandis pernix in a crack in the limestone, and almost lost it since it was really fast and agile. We searched from 20:00-20:45, and Carlos and Dusa got 2 more Craugaster and I got an Andig. We then drove back to the forest 1.8km S of town where we had the pitfall traps. The rain had stopped by now but it was cloudy and still "raining" inside the forest. We searched from 21:00-23:20, with great success. I quickly found another P. pernix about 30 cm off the ground, climbing up a liana on a huge tree. It escaped into a cavernous crack amongst the roots when I grabbed it. I proceeded to find 4 more, all of which were on trees (all but one on very large trees), between 0.25 and 2m off the ground. I found a male and female together about 2cm apart, and almost lost a juvenile as it made a flying leap out of the tree. I have never seen a salamander that looks at behaves anything like this. I found all the Nustandis in about the first hour, and got only a B. hartwegi on the ground after that. Dusa got a B. hartwegi on a small branch and 1 Craugaster. Carlos found another B. hartwegi on the ground and an Eresodonta parkensi on a leaf-another big success. We got another shrew out of one of the pitfall traps.
