Harlan James 1978 Journal 5 July Vicinity of Tlacolula, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico Putla :) But I completely forgot to check the map after our initial failure and only thought of the idea of heading S only after we were close to Oaxaca. That would be a good locality to hit in the fall. 11.1 mi NE of San Juan del Estado, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 7 July Brad and I ventured today to a locality visited by Wake, Lynch, et al 2 years ago, from which they obtained 1 Thorius. The locality is near Oaxaca City, easily reached by road, although beyond San Juan del Estado the road is dirt and often steep, and often bumpy making travel slow. At ~9 mi past SIDE a fork in the road appears. We first took the right fork continued on ~1 mile, and worked a forest at 2680m unsuccessfully. Returning to the fork we took the other road for 2.6 miles and worked a very good looking habitat at 2685m. The forest is tall with abundant logs and festoons. A few Thorius were found in these microhabitats, but by far most (>50 were found by us in less than 2 hours by working by hand through the extensive piles of wood chips in the leaf litter. Presumably when the forest is wet enough, Thorius can leave those logs, etc. for here. We returned to Oaxaca until that
