Hanken, James 1978 Journal Hotel Cruz, Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico 27 June We found only 6 Thorius; which is few considering the abundant cover and time spent looking for (~ 23 hours). Possibly they are more dispersed in the wet season when there are more suitable microhabitats (both yesterday and today, terrific downpours occurred in the afternoon and early evening). See sp. acc't for color notes. Restaurant Almita, Lytlan de Guarey, Oaxaca, Mexico 28 June Brad and I have stopped here for dinner after driving from Oaxaca City. We were late leaving this morning as we were involved with picking up laundry, fixing a flat tire, fixing a busted tail pipe, etc. Our main concern was obtaining additional T. fulvorianus from intermediate elevations on C. San Felipe. We collected at the locality visited by Doug and me two years ago (14.2 mi. S. La Cumbre) and at a locality between there and la Cumbre, and 300m higher. At both places animals were hard to find; 7 were taken in all including several found in wet leaf litter. Apparently the animals are not concentrated under cover objects because of the wet weather. The habitat doesn't strike one as good for them
