Davis 2.42 Dedijus Eslope Los Cosemilas, 8100+-8600+, deft T.Chalatenango, El Salvador March 15, 1942 were found in a log far smaller than those in which single individuals were taken would indicate that there is no log size is not a limiting factor in the number of salamanders inhabiting a given site. #15 was also a single individual. While returning, I came across a partially stripped stump from which I had taken one Dedijus. I stripped off the rest of the sapwood, + located a second on the opposite side of the stump from which I had taken the first. No free-crawling specimens were seen, nor were any seen in the burrows of wood-boring beetles. Dipods, centipedes, millipedes, Scorpions, wood-boring beetles, and white grubs were seen in association with salamanders, and some of these might form a food source. No individuals have been seen in the cloud forest near camp, from 7300+-7800', and the drier nature of the fallen wood + forest floor may be responsible for their absence. However, I have not searched as well in this lower forest as in the upper. Coloration of typical specimens: - legs gray. Tail wholly dark grayish-black, above. Venter coral-pink to reddish orange, often clouded with smoky. Dorsilla reddish. Spot above gular line purplish. Smaller individuals show infusion of red dorsally, + the inner surfaces of the limbs are reddish orange. No bright toes - all colors subdued.
