It is endemic to Mexico and only known from near its type locality near Acultzingo, Veracruz.[2] Its natural habitat is pine-oak forest. It can be found in bromeliads, leaf axils, under rocks and leaf-litter, and inside piles of wood chips. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agriculture.[1]
