Only know from its type locality, arroyo Almeida, affluent of arroyoCuñá-Pirú, río Paraná basin, Aristóbulo del Valle, Misiones. In spite of the collecting effort in different streams of Misiones province, especially in the Cuñá-Pirú basin, C. pirai was not found in other sites (Ref. 82179). Aguilera, G., J.M.

It is a tributary of the Cuña-Pirú stream (above Salto Encantado, a fall with 40 m depth); the creek only has 700 m from its headwaters to the confluence with Cuñá-Pirú. The rocky stream bed, covered by detritus over 50% of its surface, presents small pools and glides. Cnesterodon pirai was especially found forming schools of juveniles and adults in pools (Ref. 82179). Aguilera, G., J.M. Mirande and M.d.I.M.
