Chthonerpeton onorei is a species of
montane forests, rivers, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, pastureland, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals
and ditches.
Originally the specie was limited to only southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northern Argentina.Then in 1984 and 1985 two specimens were collected by Dr. G. Onore in Ecuador and this helped extend the known range of the species. This discovery extended the range of the species by 4,250 km northwest from southern Brazil.
