This small carnivorous marsupial is limited to wet tropical rainforest in northeastern Australia. Its relatively large size and reddish face help distinguish it.
It is large for an antechinus, with reddish fur on the face and head and a tail that looks almost naked.
Records are rare and come from wet tropical rainforests above 600 m in northeastern Queensland. The species was recorded in all major rainforest types across the restricted area between Cardwell and Cairns.
