"(885) ♂, 10.5g, 74 SVL, 81 TAIL C; H,L,S,I. 11.8 km E. at 310 M elevation, on a small culvert we found 2 PODACIS hispanicA (881, ♂, 3.0g, 52 SVL, 103 TAIL C; H,L,S,I, 1232 hrs, 29.4°C Tb, 19.4°C TA [SHADE] AND 882, ♀, 3.2g, 55 SVL, 71 TAIL C; H,L,S,I, 5 VOLKED FOLLICLES, 1235 hrs, 29.6°C Tb, 20.4°C TA [SUN]) and 1 TARENTOLA MAURITANICA (886, ♀, 10.5g, 71 SVL, 66 TAIL C; H,L,S,I, 3 VOLKED FOLLICLES, 1220 hrs, 19.2°C Tb, 16.4°C TA [SHADE]) 12.0 km E. at 310 M elev. at 1246 hrs. we found P. hispanicA (880, ♂, 3.8g, 55 SVL, 106 TAIL R; H,L,S,I, 33.7°C Tb, 21.2°C TA [SUN]). 12.6 km E. at 350 M elev. between 1332 and 1345 hrs, we collected at the area of a large bridge.
