Distribution and habitat. Gonatodes hasemani is endemic to southwestern Amazonia, with its northern distribution delimited by the Ucayali and Amazon rivers, and its eastern distribution delimited by the Xingu River ( Fig. 6 ). It occurs in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia, and apparently it is rare or absent in the middle and lower portion of the interfluvium Tapajós–Xingu ( Fig. 6 ). In Brazil it is known from the states of Pará, Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, and Mato Grosso. Gonatodes hasemani is arboreal and diurnal, inhabits primary and secondary terra firme and varzea forests, gallery forest, and perianthropic situations (e.g. house yards), where it is usually found on the lower parts of tree trunks (about 50 cm above ground), on fallen tree trunks, but also under rocks and on the ground ( Fugler 1986; Nascimento et al. 1988; Rodriguez & Cadle 1990; Ávila-Pires 1995; Vitt et al. 2000; Turci & Bernarde 2008; Pantoja & Fraga 2012; Waldez et al. 2013).
