Terrestrial and diurnal. It is a species of Eurolophosaurus related to Eurolophosaurus nanuzae ( Rodrigues et al. 2006). Occurring in areas of white sandy soils covered by an open cerrado like vegetation, mixed with that of campos rupestres ( Rodrigues et al. 2006). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known. Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Eurolophosaurus ( Galdino et al. 2003; Rocha and Rodrigues 2005; Xavier et al. 2021).
