Distribution

Typical in Brazilian Atlantic forest areas from the state of Espírito Santo to Rio Grande do Sul, and in Paraguay, Villarica District, Guair Department ( Campos-Filho et al. 2015a). This is the first record of this species in cave habitats. The wide occurrence and abundance inside caves suggest a troglophilic status.
