This nocturnal cuscus has a tail that grips branches. Males and females differ in coat and in how much of the tail is white; the species occurs on New Guinea and nearby islands.
Males are described with coats from white to gray, while females range from reddish-brown to gray. A male's tail is white throughout; a female's is white only at the tip.
It rests in tree hollows by day and moves through the canopy at night, gripping branches with three feet while the tail curls around them. It is usually solitary.
