It is found in the northern and western sides of the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.[2] This species is widespread but uncommon in much of its range. These frogs are found in the leaf-litter of primary and secondary tropical rainforests. Breeding takes place in ponds and flooded areas within forest.
