This tree-kangaroo has a black back and a white tail tip. It lives in West Papua’s montane rainforest, but its wild diet is poorly known.
Its back is black and its underside is pale. The cheeks may be pale or reddish; the ears are tufted and the tail tip is white.
During a 2005–2006 survey of the Arfak Mountains, four animals were collected in Mindin primary forest on undulating terrain above 1,542 m: one young male, one young female and two adult females.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
