Municipality of Mucugê, Serra do Sincorá, Chapada Diamantina, state of Bahia, Brazil.
Distribution.
Caatinga endemic species. It is recorded only in the state of Bahia. It shows restricted distribution in the Caatinga and occurs along one ecoregion (Table 1 View Table 1 ; Appendix S3). Distributed in high elevation areas (1,085-1,091 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature 20°C, and average annual rainfall between 904 and 917 mm.
Ecological notes.
Terrestrial and nocturnal ( Cassimiro and Rodrigues 2009; Freitas et al. 2012). It has been associated with rupestrian fields, found in rocky outcrop crevices, dominated by pioneer vegetation ( Cassimiro and Rodrigues 2009; Silva Júnior 2010). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known ( Cruz et al. 2018). Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Gymnodactylus ( Vitt 1992; Souza-Oliveira et al. 2017).
