Southwest zone of Western Australia. On the Darling Range from Gerladton south to Walpole and east to Mt Barker. Inland to Coorow and Dongolocking. The extent of occurrence of the species is approximately 78500 km2.

Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors
Confined to angular fine-grained sands and sandy clays. Males call from burrows in April and May. Amplexus and oviposition takes place in the burrows in the banks of watercourses. Embryos develop in the froth of the nest until the flooding of the burrow stimulates them to hatch. They can delay hatching for a considerable amount of time.
