S.D.Busack 1982 -88- 26 JUN No COLLECTING: DAY OF REST. 27 JUN We have decided that today will be the last for us in this area. We'll concentrate on "filling in" those "close" locality comparison we need. At 11.7 km S. of VETER DE LA FRONTERA on N-340 we came across a recent D.O.R. COLUBER hippocrepis from which I took tissues but did not salvage the body. Bernalup de Sidonia, 1.9 km SE, I took a TRENTOLA MAURITANICA (1674, ♂, 4.6g, 55+58 C) which completes another genus comparison. At BARBATE DE FRANCO, we took the dirt road to the W. (beyond the beach) in search of an Acrothorys locality. We needn't have worried - about 2 km along this elevated coastal path we found 5 ACROTHORUS ERYTHEUS : 1675 ♂ 9.6g 72+144 C 1676 ♂ 6.6 65+132 C 1677 ♂ 7.4 65+131 C 1678 ♀ 7.4 66+101 R 3 LARGE YOLKED FOLLICLES; 1L+2R. 1679 ♂ 5.7 62+120 C 28 JUN TARIFA - CÓDZ - SEVILLA.
