I’m returned from a fun time collecting trechaleids with María José Albo at the Instituto de Investigaciones Biológicas Clemente Estable, Uruguay, and two of her most dedicated and enthusiastic students, Mariana Germil and Mauro Martinez. We went to two sites: Río Santa Lucia, where Paratrechalea is found, and ‎Paysandu, where both Paratrechalea and Trechaleoides were recovered. A thoroughly enjoyable trip to a beautiful country with wonderful colleagues.
