Distribution
Microcambeva is thought to be widespread along coastal basins of southern, southeastern, and eastern Brazil.[9] M. barbata originates from Atlantic coastal drainages of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo states in Brazil. M. ribeirae originates from the Ribeira do Iguape River basin of southeastern Brazil. Two undescribed species of Microcambeva are known from the Doce River basin in Minas Gerais state and Jucuruçu River in Bahia state.[9]
