This species is found in ditches along roads near humid mixed oak/pine forests, from mountains in the south of Sola de Vega, up to the Rio Atoyac Basin, near Puerto Portillo, on the inland side of the Sierra Madre del Sur of Oaxaca. Its range reaches 200 m. It is unknown whether this species can persist in heavily degraded habitat (P.A. Caballero pers. comm. July 2016). It may be occur in sympatry with B. macrinii in specific areas. It reproduces by direct development.

This species is known only from the slopes of the interior of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Oaxaca, Mexico, between 1,800-1,920 m asl. It might occur more widely. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 1,651 km² and its area of occupancy (AOO) is 1,635 km².
