It was found mostly in high altitudes (720 to 920 m elevation), with records in low altitudes only next to northeast Atlantic Forest (188 to 460 m elevation). It also occurs in Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Pampas (Marques et al . 2001, 2005; Bérnils et al. 2008; Nogueira et al . 2011). It seems be restricted to forested areas in Caatinga, in highland forests on Ceará and Paraíba States, and along the contact area with the Atlantic Forest. It has semi-arboreal habits, is diurnal, and feeds mostly on frogs (Marques et al . 2001). Published as part of Guedes, Thaís B., Nogueira, Cristiano & Marques, Otavio A.
