Hauken, James 1978 Journal Hotel Mansion Imperial, Oaxaca, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 10 Dec ~18 thorius and one Peud. The only hint that there might be two species in our collection was a slight variation in eyes among animals (see species account). Returning to Svlachinia we waited for night fall and visited Ted Pagefues' cave locality for T. aurata D. in a corn field 0.8 km W of town. All this is, in fact, this locality, the cave part off of the sinkhole has been caved-in from the recent earthquake as rocks and dirt cover the supposed opening to the cave at the bottom of the sinkhole. We did find another cave ~~~~ off the N side of the road less than a 100 m. E of Ted's, though. We examined it both in the morning and at night but found the cave very dry, and no salamanders present. The wet season is apparently the best time to collect here.
