While Volcán Suchitán is surrounded by warm subtropical dry montane forest, the upper slopes of the volcano where this species was collected support a relatively humid broad-leaf forest with abundant mosses and epiphytes (Campbell et al. 2010). This species has been found during the day buried in moss on logs, beneath rotting logs, and in damp leaf litter on a hiking trail (Campbell et al. 2010). At night, it was also found climbing on branches, ferns, or leaves in secondary vegetation 0.6–1.6 m above the ground (Campbell et al. 2010). It breeds by direct development.

This species is only known from the upper slopes of the Volcán Suchitán, above Aldea Suchitán and in the vicinity of La Piedrona, in Municipio Santa Catarina Mita, Departamento Jutiapa, Guatemala (Campbell et al. 2010, S. Rovito pers. comm. August 2019) and it is thought to be endemic to the summit of this volcano (J.A. Campbell pers. comm. August 2019). It has been recorded from an elevational range of 1,850–2,020 m asl (S. Rovito pers. comm. August 2019) and an estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) of 8 km² and area of occupancy (AOO) of 4 km².
