It is found in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

[1][2] Glyphoglossus guttulatus occurs in lowland forests at elevations of 150–400 m (490–1,310 ft) above sea level.

It is most commonly observed on leaf litter near rivers.

[1] This species can occur locally in great numbers during the breeding and then effectively disappear.

It is probably threatened by habitat degradation caused by expansion of agricultural land, roads, and human settlements.
