This mouse lives in mountain forests and grasslands, with dark gray-brown upperparts and a grayish-white underside. It is nocturnal and is reported to eat seeds and berries, storing food in its burrows.
The upperparts are dark grayish brown, sometimes with a darker stripe along the back, and the underside is grayish white. The tail is reported to be about as long as, or slightly longer than, the body.
It is nocturnal, walks on the ground, and can climb well. It digs burrows beneath tree roots, rests in grass-lined nests by day, and is reported to store seeds and berries.
