Found in the tributaries of the Rio do Sangue, affluent of the Rio Juruena, upper Rio Tapajós basin. Habitat of this species is relatively near human settlement and regions with intense riparian forest degradation for pasture, which may pose threat to its survival. It is preferable to consider this species as data deficient due to its unknown population biology and geographical range reductions. Thus, this species should be under data deficient (DD) classiification of the IUCN categories and criteria (Ref. 109743).
