The Leptolebias leitaoi lives in the benthopelagic, non-migratory, freshwater environment.
Whether Leptolebias leitaoi belongs in this genus, in Notholebias, or elsewhere is unresolvable. The type specimens are lost, and the species has not been found anymore in recent decades and may well be extinct already. More
