Haulker, James 1976 Journal 20 July Restaurant at El Machin & Poraca, Mexico in an area of at the edge of the meadow where the transmission lines pass through the forest. Numerous fallen rotting logs were present among the scrubby second growth as well as adjacent forest. Doug worked the forested area and found ~15 Thorius, all of the smaller species. Walking the more exposed area I found at least 10-15 Thorius, at least 5 or 6 apparently the larger species. In one instance one indiv. of both species was found under the same bark on a fallen log ~3 feet apart. Doug also collected one Selaphorus. Next we worked locality #3 of 19 July, 13.5 mi. N Ocelotlan to see if we would have greater luck working the exposed area beneath transmission lines than the forest which we worked on 19 July. We had better luck, finding 8 Thorius in ~1/2 hour: two under logs, two under bark of stumps, and four inside logs beneath road
