Distribution and habitat. Loxopholis snethlageae is endemic to western Amazonia, occurring in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru (Fig. 13), distributed along the Solimões river system and the lower / median courses of its main tributaries (Negro, Purus, Tefé, Juruá, Jutaí, Ampiyacu, and Japurá Rivers). Until now it was only known from the type-locality and from the lower Purus River, in Brazil (Piagaçu-Purus Reserve — Waldez et al. 2013). In Brazil, it is only known from the state of Amazonas. Loxopholis snethlageae is terrestrial and diurnal, inhabits primary terra firme and disturbed (logged) forests, where it is found amid the leaf litter, root mass, bark litter and on the soil at base of trees (Ávila-Pires 1995; Waldez et al. 2013).
