It is recorded only in the state of Bahia. It shows restricted distribution in the Caatinga and occurs along one ecoregion (Table 1; Appendix S3). Distributed in high elevation areas (1,085-1,091 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 20°C, and average annual rainfall between 904 and 917 mm.   Figure 8.Lizards recorded in the Caatinga region. 8.1  Gymnodactylus vanzolinii; 8.2  Phyllopezus diamantino; 8.3  Phyllopezus periosus; 8.4  Phyllopezus pollicaris; 8.5  Phyllopezus selmae, 8.6  Polychrus acutirostris; 8.7  Polychrus marmoratus, and 8.8  Brasiliscincus heathi.

It is known from an area of semideciduous forest, locally called the "carrasco", which is characterized by the abundance of Myrtaceae, and gallery forest along the river valleys ( Rodrigues et al. 2006). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known ( Cruz et al. 2018). Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other  Enyalius( Migliore et al. 2014).
