These small geckos were much more abundant than the few specimens
indicate. They frequently were seen on the trunks of corozo palms, where
they quickly took refuge in crevices at the bases of the fronds. The
specimen obtained at Toocog was under the bark of a standing dead tree.
In life the ventral surface of the tail was orange. The individual from
Chinaja was in the leaf litter on the ground at the base of a dead tree.
