It is found in Andes of Colombia and Ecuador.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forests (cloud forests); larvae develop in streams and still-water pools. Its habitat is threatened by habitat loss, introduced fish, and agricultural pollution, but it is still a common species not considered threatened by the IUCN.[1]
