At midday, one juvenile was encountered sitting head down on one of the main vertical branches of a coffee plant. Our datalogger readings of about two complete days showed a minimum temperature of °C between 03:00 and 08:40 h. The highest temperatures were recorded in the time period between 12:20 and 14:40 h, with values of °C

Conservation Status. On the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, A. macrinii is listed as Least Concern, and the population trend is given as stable (IUCN, 2012). Although we wonder who has the data to support this supposed population trend— given that so few specimens are known to science. We would agree that this species was not uncommon in the surroundings of Santiago La Galera, as evidenced by the seven individuals we encountered during three days of search. On the other hand, this species is given a Conservation Status Score of 3 by Wilson and Townsend (2010), which is the highest level of conservation concern, essen- tially the opposite of the IUCN determination. It indicates restriction to a single country, physiographic region, and vegetation zone. More field work is needed to get a better understanding of the population size and the geographic distribution of this species. On the national level, A. macrinii is in the category "special protection" (Pr) by NOM-059- SEMARNAT-2010, the lowest category (Dia- rio Oficial de la Federation, 2010). DISCUSSION Aside from the original description, the only comments on A. macrinii are those found in the unpublished dissertation of Carl Lieb (1981). He had examined the holotype and one additional specimen of this species (MVZ
