It is the only representative of the subfamily Tomopeatinae and endemic to the coastal desert of Peru where it is associated with woody savanna ecosystems and narrow rock crevices. Globally, it is considered “Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, mostly due to the ongoing population reduction and small and fragmented geographic range.
