August, 2010 Journal Atta Cima and San Jose, Reserva de la Biosfera El Cielo, Tamaulipas, Mexico (cont) Aug. 2 ... visit another cave, but we decided to continue uphill to San Jose, the only area where Ely had found P. cephalica. Continued on w/o snakes or a bromeliad cutter. We soon entered the cloud forest, composed mostly of Podocarpus with liquidambar. I found a P. "cephalica" in a roadbank and another under the bark of a log. Dabry got a P. scandens under a log and Susan got 1 under a rock; Jorge got 2 more in a fallen bromeliad. The P. "cephalica" doesn't look anything like the ones from Noroega; they have yellow legs, white spots on a brown background, and a relatively small size. We proceeded to find 2 more P. "cephalica" on the road to San Jose - Jon got one under a small board, and I found one in a bromeliad. Jon also found a Hypodiphus cystignathodes under a small rock, and found what looked like one under a log. Jorge found 2 more P. scandens in fallen bromeliads. Gabriela found a very small, green Chiropterotriton in a bank just before the small village of El Valle de Curni. Just past the town, I got a second species of Chiropterotriton in a bromeliad in a Podocarpus; this salamander had a more robust body and larger feet than the other Chirop. We ate in San Jose and then walked back to Atta Cima. On the way up and down, we saw Xenosaurus platyceps + Lepidophyma in cracks in limestone along the path. We searched in the forest from ~ 12:00 - 16:00. Arriving at CIF in the evening, we found a Bothrops asper in the parking lot. The day was warm and partly cloudy.
