It is known from the Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, its type locality in eastern Bolivia, as well as more widely from Brazil, in the states of Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia.
[4] Adult males in the type series (three specimens) measure 21.4–22.4 mm (0.84–0.88 in) in snout–vent length (SVL).
The snout is short and round in dorsal view, but truncate in profile.
[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests,[1] although a specimen has also been collected in a secondary forest on a river bank, on the surface of the palm Lepidocaryum.
[5] The type series were found on vegetation along a sandy stream bed.
