Hanken, James 1976 Journal 19 July Hotel Restaurant at El Molino, Oaxaca, Mexico scrubby growth beside the road. The next two localities were 13.5 and 20.5 mi. N of Cuelatas, respectively, both over 9000' elev. In both cases working the mature, wet, pine-oak forest with abundant moss + bromeliads was not very fruitful. Few Thorius were taken at these localities, and the majority of those were taken in the disturbed, relatively exposed, scrubby growth beside the road under logs, rocks, + rubbish. Are they actually more abundant in these areas or is the forest just so wet as to not concentrate them under cover objects? One Thorius was found by Doug under a rock beside the road at the first locality. The next two localities were both N of Llano de las Flores. We chose disturbed areas with exposed rocks and logs in the hopes of getting more Thorius. The first locality was 2.7 mi. N of Llano ... (or 25.4 mi. N of Cuelatas) on a hillside with a narrow swale cut over for transmission lines. Approx. 35 Thorius were taken representing two species, one large and one small, apparently the same two which were found at Llano de las Flores in the winter. There were two instances where the two species were found in the same log, once by Doug with an indiv. of each within the outer first inch of a rotten log, and once by me with one indiv. of the smaller
