It is known from two subpopulations, one near San Agustín Loxicha and the other north of the San Gabriel Mixtepec. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 2,240 km2, but may occur more widely than currently recorded.[1]
It prefers rocky streams with abundant vegetation in montane pine-oak forests and cloud forests.[1]
It is threatened by habitat loss.
