Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
This species is found in a soft hilly area with an open landscape
and predominance of grasslands surrounded by small, shallow and seasonal
streams
; this area is currently modified by eucalyptus and pine plantations.
Circumstantial reproductive evidence suggests that reproduction
in
this species takes place during winter (Maneyro
et al.
2008). It is presumed to breed
by laying
eggs
in water.
