Dromicei nov.4 Barro Colorado, Peter Temple-Smith and Bruce Paton et al. arrived from Limbuela, Chib, where they had been collecting Dromicei and L Rhypholochaster. The present habitat seems to be guilea bamboo, especially the N or NE side where the sun strikes. Their Chibouan field assistant found as many as 20 nests in 1 hour, but not all of them occupied. Several informants told them that Dromicei does indeed sleep (and/or fortor?) hanging by its tail. Rhypholochaster was very adept at handling earthworms.
