Ecological notes.

Terrestrial and diurnal. Occurring in campos rupestres on white sand soils, observed foraging in the leaf litter and sand near rocky outcrops (Arias et al. 2011a; Pinto-Silva and Silva-Soares 2018). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known, but it could be similar to other Glaucomastix (Cavalcanti et al. in press). Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Ameivula (Mesquita and Colli 2003; Sales and Freire 2016; Xavier et al. 2019).
