Small to medium Sigmodontinae rodents (total length ~ 200, Occipto-nasal length ~ 27) with large head, conspicuous eyes, and tail equal or slightly larger than head and body; dorsal pelage soft dark-brown to light-orange brown; feet rather short and broad with 6 plantar pads and scutelated surface; skull with short rostrum (<35% Occipto-nasal length), rounded braincase, and rather posterior domed profile; nasals divergent forward; interlacrymal depression behind nasals; anterior portion of interfrontal suture with incomplete fusion or directly slit-like fontanelle; zygomatic plate nearly vertical with almost obsolete upper free border; coronal suture V-shaped; interparietal wide; occipital region reduced; mesopterygoid fossa lireshaped with anterior border located at the level of third molar protocone; robust opisthodont upper incisors; brachyodont molars with crested coronal topography and well developed anteromedian flexus/ids and mesolophs/ids; 8 mammae. Fossil record . No fossil of Juliomys is known.
