This species is well distributed in Tropical areas, in open or dry to moist montane sites. In Brazil, this species can be found at the Atlantic Rainforest in Northeast, South, and Southeast of Brazil, and at the Amazon Rainforest in North of Brazil.
In Brazil, this species commonly founded in Atlantic and Amazon Rainforest that are biomes that still suffer anthropic actions in special wildfire, natural and criminal caused, and area suppression.
In Brazil, the records are related to preserved areas, but unfortunately, those spaces still being affected by negatives influences. So, formal education to the population that lives near those areas and the park managers can start to change the situation.
Actions that are orientated to taxonomy and exploration to new sites need to be stimulated until a better understanding of this species status.
