The Naked-tailed Voalavo is a small rodent recorded in mountain forest in northern Madagascar, at about 1,300–1,950 m in the original account.
The back fur is gray with a pale buff band and black tips, and is short and soft. The tail is longer than the head and body, about 1.3 times as long, and sparsely furred.
It was recorded in mountain forest at about 1,300–1,950 m. Mostly terrestrial, it has also been captured at least once in a live trap placed on a branch about 3 m above the ground.
