This small marsupial is known from high elevations of the Tweed Volcano caldera in eastern Australia. Government information describes it as nocturnal and a generalist predator of insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates, with records restricted to high-altitude rainforest.
The head, neck, and shoulders are gray-brown, changing markedly to an orange-brown rump. The feet and underside of the tail are black, and the thick-based tail has short, dense fur.
It is a nocturnal generalist insectivore. Fecal analyses cited in the government report identified fly larvae, spiders, landhoppers, millipedes, and beetles, as well as other soft-bodied prey such as earthworms.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
