This species is active diurnally on rocks and low vegetation along larger forest streams and small forest rivers, including both primary and old secondary forest in the Atlantic Forest biome (Heyer et al. 1990). The tadpoles live in streams with rocky bottoms where the water is relatively calm.
This Brazilian endemic species is known from the slopes of the Serra do Mar across the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Its estimated elevational range is sea level up to 800 m asl. The extent of occurrence (EOO) of the current known distribution is 45,484 km2, but the species could occur more widely in suitable habitat.
