Hanken, James 1978 Journal Hotel Ruiz, Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico 27 June presumably the same as Wake & Lynch's locality of 25.4 Km W. Zaachila is reached by a paved road SW out of Oaxaca (~ 20 miles) and the road W out of town Zaachila leaves the paved road by a gas station at the N end of town. The road is graded dirt, generally easily passable but for a few rough spots; but we traversed it in Brad's Station station wagon. The road, however, is slow, and the drive from the locality to Zaachila to the locality takes ~ 90 minutes. The forest at the locality is mostly mature and second growth oak, with some madrona and pine. Evidence of recent cutting is seen in the abundant stumps, fallen logs, and piles of wood chips. All of the logs collected today were found by turning & rolling logs and other debris in the oak forest. An adjacent pine stand held nothing, although earlier I found a P. belli under a fallen pine log in a remnant small cluster of pine on a steep slope in a small village ~ 1 mile farther along the road. Electrophoretically, these two Thorius sp. seem closest to those on C. San Felipe. The habitat here is most reminiscent of the 7 Km W La Lumbre locality, although the adjacent pines resemble more higher-up on the Cerro.
