This species is known only from the type locality in the Serra do Mar, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It most probably occurs elsewhere along this mountain range but no sampling has been carried in the potential range. The known locality is at around 800m asl.

The population is unknown and it is presently only known from a few specimens.

This diurnal species presumably occurs in small rivulets in the Serra do Mar mountains. The known locality is good secondary forest. No information is known about this species' breeding habits, but it presumably breeds in the small rivulets and the larvae develop in streams, as with other species in the genus.
