Distribution and biology
The single specimen examined was previously recorded by Ambrozio-Assis et al. (2018). It was collected via frog-call trap playing the call of Boana bischoffi, in Santa Catarina State, in an area of Atlantic forest, at an altitude of 470 m a.s.l.
This species is otherwise known only from Costa Rica, at altitudes ranging from 1800 to 1850 m a.s.l. (Borkent 2008).
