Hawken James 1978 Journal Hotel Mansion Imperial Oaxaca, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 6 Dec outside from town. We checked four localities. The first was relatively low at m and we found no thorius. The three higher localities (see catalogue) had thorius, apparently the very large species found from Guerrero east to Suchiatepec in the Sierra Madre del Sur. The habitat in general was the typical pine-oak forest. The best collecting spots were partially disturbed slopes with abundant fallen logs. Thorius were occasionally found under bark, but most abundantly inside of fragments of fallen logs. Ten or twelve were often taken together in the same crevice. On this day We collected a total of ~85. On the other hand, 5 Pseudoeurycea were found, most by peeling bark of fallen logs, the others under fallen logs. Although this is the dry season, microhabitats were moist and the animals easier to collect than in summer (wet season). restaurant ↓ Colon dirt ← Pan-Am highway 1~100m→ to localities asphalt → dirt Km. 0 Km 3.7 took rt.
