It is endemic to Brazil where it is commonly known as grimpeirinho or grimpeiro because it lives mostly on the canopies (grimpa in Portuguese meaning canopy) of the Araucaria angustifolia pine tree, also endemic to the southern regions of South America.
Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
