Field observations and specimens housed in the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural del Paraguay (MNHNP) and American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) confirmed the presence of the new species in the Departments of Amambay and Concepción. The species likely enters the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, but Brazilian territory has not been systematically examined.

, is a heliophilous species easily observable basking on tree trunks. In the Reserva Natural Cerrados del Tagatiya, Department of Concepción, I observed up to six individuals on large trees around the main houses of the Garay Cué Farm. The number of animals seemed proportional to the size of the trees and complexity of the canopy. Females and juveniles occupied trees dominated by a large, adult male, but satellite males seemed to cohabitate. Individual lizards or adult couples were frequently observed on small and middle-sized trees. As a rule, lizards of both sexes normally bask on tree trunks, but several individuals opportunistically used fence poles and the rooftops of the corral of the Loma Farm, associated to the Reserva Natural Cerrados del Tagatiya. However, ecology of
