Fazenda Caraibas , municipality of Mucuge , Serra do Espinhaco (Chapada Diamantina), state of Bahia, Brazil. Distribution. Caatinga endemic species. 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.

Semiarboreal and diurnal ( Rodrigues et al. 2006 , 2014 ). 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 ).
