It is endemic to the Cerrado region in Brazil and is known from the Federal District and the adjacent eastern Goiás and northwestern Minas Gerais states.

The fingers and the toes are long and bear terminal discs; webbing is reduced and no lateral fringes are present.

[1] Aplastodiscus lutzorum is known from gallery forests with scattered Mauritia flexuosa palm trees within the Cerrado biome at elevations of 1,000 m (3,300 ft) or more.

Males call during the night perched on leaves or branches as high as 5 m (16 ft) above the water level.

[1] As of late 2018, the species had not been included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species,[4] but Berneck and colleagues suggest it should be considered of "least concern", because most of the know occurrences are inside protected areas, including the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park.
