The species is known from South and Central, but with few records. We, thus, suggest this species to be categorized as Near Threatened (NT).

Known from tropical America, Brazil and Costa Rica.

There are 3 records of this species from Brazil (3) and Costa Rica (1) (based on literature and recent collections).

Growing on decaying wood. In Brazil, it is known from the Atlantic Forest (Northeastern Brazil).

Few records in the neotropics. In Brazil, it is found in the Atlantic Forest, a hotspot.

Reports in Brazil are from protected area.
