Range Description This species is known from the vicinity of the type locality of Ullilen, Province of Mariscal Cáceres, San Martín Region, Peru (Duellman et al. 2006). It occurs from 3,000–3,300 m asl.
Habitat and Ecology This species is found in montane grassland with bushes (Baccharis) and very humid montane forest. Individuals have been found at night on the bases of bunch grass and on a rock.

This was the only species found in this area and the hatchlings resembled adults of this species (P. Venegas pers. comm. 2008).
Population The species is only known from the type series, comprised three specimens.
