ants, dear 2010 journal Oct. 26 Along MX 175, Sierra de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico. After dealing with a few specimens in morning, drive to turnoff to San carlos Yelo. Parked ~200m down road and worked on other side of road from where we worked last march. Forest here is slightly disturbed but has lots of big trees + many good bromeliads. We opened 101 bromeliads from 11:30 - 15:20. Cryptostylis "pluralis" were abundant; we found 5 adults and 13 juveniles. Not 5 P. saltator, one of which has a color pattern like the P. juarezi that I collected near the top of Cerro Pelon last december. We got a very big, brown Pseudoeurycea with a long tail; it looks like P. saltator in its general form + foot shape, but differs in coloration (brown vs. yellow head), size (much bigger than any P. juarezi I've seen) and tail length. On the 101st bromeliad, we found a spectacular adult Euariselyla. We then drove to la Esperanza after lunch, and opened 14 bromeliads in the forest above town from 16:50-17:25; found 1 Electridyla (arborascendens?). The habitat in this area seems mostly secondary (few big trees, roughy) and I wonder if it's worth looking for Cryptostylis here. The bromeliads proved excellent however. We drove on to the small roadside chapel where we collected Bolitoglossa in December 2009, 10.3km S (by rd) from the center of Nalle Nacional. We got 4 Bolitoglossa sp. "Nista Hormosa", 1 B. rufescens, and a Rhadinec in red bananas; searched under rocks but found nothing. The undescribed Bolitoglossa are more robust, relatively uniform brown in color, and easily distinguished from B. rufescens. Not gas + had dinner in Nalle Nacional; then spent night processing specimens. Day was fairly hot and clear, night was clear with no clouds.
