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 medium to high elevation areas (587-1,085 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 20 to 24°C, and average annual rainfall between 662 and 917 mm.  Ecological notes. Fossorial and diurnal ( Rodrigues 1991b). It has a strict association with sandy soils. It was recorded in open areas with a sandy quartzite soil in the municipality of Miguel Calmon, in open semideciduous forest in the municiplaty of Morro do Chapeu, in a plateau covered by lower semideciduous vegetation in Mucuge, and in rupestrian fields in Palmeiras (  Magalhaeset al. 2015; Rodrigues et al. 2017). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known, but it could be similar to other  Psilops( Costa 2015). Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Gymnophthalmidae( Mesquita and Colli 2010; Dal Vechio et al. 2014; Ramiro et al. 2017).
