Caatinga endemic species. It was recorded in the states of Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Bahia (Joventino et al. 2009; Guedes 2010; Jorge & Freire 2011). It is known from areas below 400 m elevation. Although the records are sparse, available data indicate the association to xerophitic phytophysiognomies with rocky soils and inselbergs (Guedes 2010). It has semi-arboreal habits, is nocturnal and feeds on frogs (Franco & Ferreira 2003).
