Ronto, Dear 2010 Journal Corr San Felipe, Oaxaca, Mexico (cont) March 17 ... dry, except inside the few logs we found (16.94409°N, 98.88315°W E=7m], 2699m elev.). We gave up and drove back to Oaxaca, where some teachers told us a way around the blockade. We drove on to the cabin at La Cumbre de Santa Catarina Xitepeji, where we spent the night. This morning, Pedro drove Malvina back to Oaxaca to get a bus to DF. Alize, Cynthia and I were dropped off at the Micordas Corral de Piedra, above the calvarias, and spent about 2.5 hrs (10:30-13:00) searching under logs in pine forest. Most of the trees were quite small (clearly secondary) and there was a lot of wood debris - this forest is highly disturbed. Although conditions were extremely dry, including under many logs, we had some luck. I found 4 Ichirus (marigaluis?) under pieces of bark, while Alize got 11 and Cynthia got 3 (only collected 1) under logs (17.17281°N, 96.65296°W [E=7m], 3288m elev.). We met Pedro and drove on to Santiago Comaltepe, where we had a long discussion with the Presidente del Comisariado de Bienes Comunales. In the end, after talking, leaving a book and articles, and making a donation to the community ($1000 MX300), we were given permission to collect a few specimens. Drove to San Pedro Yula and did the same, without the donation and collecting restrictions. Drove to Cerro Pelo and walked down from Mirador, searching along roadcut with lights from 20:45-21:45. It had rained a little earlier but was pretty dry, with very little mist. Cynthia got 1 Ichirus awens under a rock, and I got 1 I. awrens and another Ichirus, both under small rocks. Spent the night in the municipalidad in San Pedro Yulo.
