Ronto, Sean 2011 Journal May 29 Road from Palo N[illegible]o hydroelectric dam to La Floria, Zona Reinaquiche, Alustondo. Spent all morning preparing specimens; rained hard in afternoon. Carlos, Ricardo + I left for the Zona Reina and arrived late in the afternoon. It had rained hard there & the road was in pretty bad shape. Arrived in La Floria at about 19:45 and searched in transects in people's yards in Aldor al de Mayo Necogus for 20-30 min. We got a Simylosa brunneina in a Morona tree + a Liria didymata under a log. Drove back up towards Palo N[illegible]o after dark & stopped at a small stream crossing the road at ~1100m elev, ca. 2-3km from La Floria. Ricardo + I each got a hyloid motoroph on veg next to the stream + Carlos got 2 Plectropyla hartwegi along a small stream above the road. The road was slippery & rain threatened, so we drove to our campsite at the high point on the road before searching again, 3 km N of the hydroelectric dam. We searched in a forest that was mostly palm trees + smaller deciduous trees from 20:25-21:30; got 9 B. cuchumata, 1 P. hypnolytes, 3 Graugaster sucandini + 3 Graugaster sp. We walked along the road & Ricardo saw a juvenile Nyctanthes pernis on the roadcut - first record for Quiche. It was below that seemed like nice forest. On an area of forest w/ lots of palms + some large trees above the road near here we got 6 more B. cuchumata, 1 C. sucandi, 3 Graugaster sp. + 1 Andis. We walked on to where we searched on our previous visit and searched until 12:30. Carlos + Ricardo got a jur. Retrichia auriga on a strand + an Atropides mexicanus along a stream. I focused on big trees for Nyctanthes (like I found them at Maxbal) but saw only a C. sucandi. We walked back & camped near the high point on the road. Night was clear & not too cold following rain of early afternoon. Forest is fabulous here - more to find. Road is too new for people to have settled the area yet.
