Austin, Dean 2010 Journal Aug. 19 La Encarnacion, PN Los Marmolos, Hidalgo, Mexico Dean Scherible and I left OF around 12:00 and drove to La Encarnacion in Parque Nacional Los Marmolos. After driving through pine forest, arrived at a patch of nice oak forest with a lot of moss + many rocks. Almost immediately, Dean got a big female P. cephalica under a small piece of wood + 2 Christoperstitus chondrostega under rocks. I found a male P. cephalica in a roadbank. Searched for ~30 min. At night, started searching along roadbank at 21:00 after a brief afternoon rain (orographic). Found 8 P. cephalica on mostly roadbank along a ~100m stretch in the forest. Continued on to a rock wall, where I found 1 more P. cephalica (didn't collect, stopped seeing them after this), as well as a Pseudurycea lelii emerging from the wall and a dephis at its base. Further on, found 2 more Christopheritus chondrostega on a roadbank. Turned back + stopped searching at 22:00 after activity appeared to have died down. Aug. 20 El Lobo, Queretaro, Mexico Searched in ~5 promobids on road from Agua Fria to Pajillas; found nothing. Took a long, slow road from Pajillas to El Lobo via Agua Zarca. Searched under logs at Parador Santa Marta, W of El Lobo, from 16:40-18:40, found 1 Plestiodon + 2 Lepidophrys (not collected). Habitat was pine-oak-madrone w/ poison oak + lots of logs. Went into a cave ~100m N of road. Seemed great for salamanders. Didn't saw more; found some incredible pre-Columbian pottery, but car stuck in los Pajillitos, slept in [illegible] Xilitla.
