Habitat:
This species is poorly known in most of its aspects. It inhabits a small area of semiarid low region and arid thorn scrub vegetation. It has been caught over streams, in cactus-mesquite vegetation, and in gallery forest (Arroyo-Cabrales and Polaco 1997). Recently they were collected nearby citric trees orchards (J. M. Ortega-Rodríguez and I. Díaz Pacheco pers. comm.).
Range:
This species occurs only of the Balsas river basin around the Infiernillo dam, southern Michoacan, Mexico (Ceballos and Oliva 2005, Simmons 2005). It occurs from 125 to 340 m (Arroyo-Cabrales and Polaco 1997). Known from 30 or less specimens, all coming from four localities around El Infiernillo town and the Balsas river.

The species is included inside the Mexican regulation for species conservation NOM-59-SEMARNAT-2001 (under P categorie which means Endangered of extinction) (Arroyo-Cabrales pers. comm.).
