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 (
