The species was recorded in a typical Cerrado area, inserted into the urban area of Campo Grande town at an altitude of 594 m a.s.l.. It was recorded in a small first order creek, but was only captured in border areas with dense aquatic vegetation, mainly grasses (Fig. 4). The biotope, which is locally called

But, the place where the species was recorded is formed by small backwaters, with a clayey substrate and with a maximum depth of 10 cm. The species is encountered in areas exposed to the sun as well as in areas shaded by trees, mainly buritis-palm (
