Habitat:
It is found in thorny and deciduous forest and is know from sea level up to 1,500 meters (Ceballos and Oliva 2005). The populations on continental Mexico are poorly known or studied, contrary to the high number of animals recorded from Tres Marias islands. Similar to other species in the genus, this one is expected to be insectivorous (Roots and Baker 2007). In Sinaloa, it was captured mainly over ponds or streams, close to where subtropical forests are found (Roots and Baker 2007).

Range:
This species is endemic to Mexico, and occurs from Oaxaca to Sonora, and at Tres MarĂ­as Islands, over the Pacific coasts of Mexico (Ceballos and Oliva 2005, Simmons 2005, Roots and Baker 2007). This does not include R. velilla from western Ecuador (see Baird et al. 2008).

Conservation:
This species is found in several protected areas through its extensive geographic distribution.
