Protection: nature reserve
Substrate: ground surface
MAP: 4900.0
Habitat comments: native primary "cloud forest"; there is "an extremely dry season from June to August"

Methods
Life forms: scarab beetles
Sites: 1
Site length: 350
Sampling methods: line transect,baited,pitfall traps
Sample size: 2284 individuals
Years: 1995
Days: 2
Nets or traps: 8
Net or trap nights: 16
Sampling comments: eight human dung-baited pitfall traps situated 50 m apart on a single transect and left out for 48 hours; sampling was carried out between January to June, but this apparently means that individual sampling events fell within this period and not that sampling was continuous throughout it
