(Figs. 18.7 and 31.2)

It was recorded in the states of Paraíba and Bahia. All records are from highland areas from, 500 to 1,030 m elevation. It is widely distributed in the Atlantic Forest ( Marques et al. 2001). It is a typical forested area species, and its distribution in Caatinga may be restricted to humid, elevated forest enclaves. It has semi-arboreal habits, is nocturnal, and feeds on mollusks ( Marques et al. 2001).
