Comments: 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 found in a small first order creek, but was only captured in border areas with dense aquatic vegetation, mainly grasses. The biotope, which is locally called 'veredas', a freshwater ecosystem comprising streams bordered by the buriti-palm, typically found in the Cerrado Biome, has moderate current speed. However, the area where the species was recorded is formed by small backwaters, with a clayey substrate and with a maximum depth of 10 cm. This species is encountered in areas exposed to the sun as well as in areas shaded by trees, mainly buritis-palm (<i>Mauritia flexuosa</i>). The region also has a slightly undulating terrain and according to the classification of Koppen-Geiger has rainy summers and dry winters (Ref. 119399).
