Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Primavera, Oaxaca Est. Oaxaca Mexico 7-10 February The snake was found under an exposed rock in a small clearing by a small roadside chapel. The 9-10 February were spent working the pine forest on the N & S slope. Thorius were taken in greater numbers, but only with mud and wood, as the forest was extremely dry and the salamanders found under bark on large, moist logs or deeep inside other logs. Llanos de las Flores was an exception, as over 100 Thorius were taken in ~1-1½ hours, including 37 found by me under one log. One P. sarapiqui juvenile was found at the same locality under bark on a fallen log. After working this region we continued on to Oaxaca
