en route from LA to SF, California, USA
14-18 February agricultural-laden valley near Ceicatlán.
The ride from Ceicatlán to Santa Reyes is quite
dramatic as one generally ascends to ~3000 m.
The area in the vicinity of Santa Reyes is similar
to that of Cuajinoyas except that at the crest of
the Continental Divide one encounters a
congruous pine forest with isolated trees
dotting up from a green carpet of grass and
berry-like evergreen shrubs. The logging roads are
evidently criss-cross the countryside and
should provide access to good areas for
collecting, including E of the divide. We had
only a little time to make a brief foray E of
the Divide and found six Thirion under logs
along the road. W of the Divide we hit at a
locality 8 Am NE of Santa Reyes - the usual pine
forest habitat - and one 11 Am NE of Santa Reyes
a mostly densely oak-forested slope along
a creek. One lone Pseudowyerza was found at
the latter locality in addition to Theorina.
