The specific name, lutzae, is in honor of Brazilian herpetologist Bertha Lutz.[4] The original generic name, Bogertia, was in honor of American herpetologist Charles Mitchill Bogert.[4]

The preferred natural habitat of P. lutzae is forest.[1]
P. lutzae is terrestrial, and it is both diurnal and nocturnal.[1]
If threatened, P. lutzae may vocalize, and it may shed its tail (autotomy).[1]
