The species is hypogeous to subhypogeous, and could occur as solitary or scattered individuals. There are just two records for the species, both located in the same area inside the Guaribas Biological Reserve, Paraíba, Brazil. The main threats to the species are urbanization and deforestation. Although, the lack of data about its distribution and population makes L. flava Data Deficient under the IUCN criteria.
