It was recorded in the northern portion of Minas Gerais and eastern Bahia. It occurs only in low-lying areas in Caatinga, up to 230 m elevation. Is is also distributed in Atlantic Forest and Cerrado ( Marques et al. 2001; Argôlo 2004; Nogueira et al. 2010). Inside the Caatinga region, it inhabits contact areas next to the Atlantic Forest ( agreste) and the Cerrado domain. It has terrestrial habits, is diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds mostly on vertebrates ( Marques et al. 2001).
