This small marsupial has short chestnut-to-tan fur and dark rings around the eyes. It was described from savannas in southwestern Papua New Guinea and northern Australia.
Its fur ranges from chestnut to tan and is very short, with dark rings around the eyes. The tail is slightly shorter than the head-and-body length, and the tips of the interdigital pads on the hindfeet have striations.
The original description places collection localities in mixed savannas of southwestern Papua New Guinea and Cape York Peninsula. It does not report diet or activity time.
