Caatinga endemic species. Recorded only in Ibiapaba Plateau Baturité, and Maranguape ranges, Ceará State. It inhabits upland areas above to 600 m elevation and was found exclusively on moist relictual forests within the Caatinga ( Loebmann & Haddad 2010). Species of Apostolepis pymy group are found mostly along Amazonia and central Brazil, often associated to forests. As other congeneric species, the species seems to be fossorial, diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds on elongated vertebrates.
