Cycloramphus cedrensis is known from fast-flowing rocky streams in rainforest at elevations of 300–350 m (980–1,150 ft) above sea level. The tadpole are found on rocks in the splash zone.[1]

The type series was collected in 1982.[2] As of 2004, later surveys had not found the species. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and development of hydroelectricity infrastructure. It is not known to occur in any protected areas[1]

Cycloramphus cedrensis is only known from near Rio dos Cedros, Santa Catarina.
