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). It occurs in high elevation areas (720 m a.s.l.), with annual mean temperature of 22°C, and average annual rainfall of 750 mm.

Ecological notes.

Arboreal and diurnal (Vanzolini et al. 1980; Lanna et al. 2018). It is known only for the municipality of Condeúba, southwestern of the state of Bahia, in areas with rock formations, dense shrubby vegetation and open formation, being restricted to arboreal microhabitats, an environment similar to other Lygodactylus of the Caatinga, although at higher altitudes ( Vitt 1995; Galdino et al. 2011; Andrade et al. 2013). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known. Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Lygodactylus species ( Vitt 1992, 1995).
