Hankar, James 1978 Journal Hotel Mansion Imperial, Oaxaca, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 7 Dec Yesterday Tom and I drove to the locality ~25 km W of Zaachila from which has proven difficult to obtain adequate Thoreus samples despite the presence of two species. After working the forest adjacent to the meadow, both next to the meadow and higher up, we returned to the fork in the road and took the right turn. The road continues along the high llanos, never getting much higher than the first locality. We checked one or two forested areas (thick pine-oak and just pine) but found only one pseudoeurycea. We then returned to the first llano, but checked the forest along the right fork. This was the same dense pine-oak mixed forest with abundant soils, but the forest was much drier than the first locality. We managed to find 4 Thoreus on one slope in this spot, 3 in wood chips, the rest under bark or fallen logs; a very localized abundance considering how many other areas we worked nearby. Only one animal conspicuously appeared different from the rest (see op. acc't). Is this the second species?
