Head—body 135-160 mm, tail 170-172 mm, ear 17-22 mm, hindfoot 23-36 mm; weight 50-74 g. The Merida Rice Rat is medium-sized, with tail typically unicolored but rarely weakly bicolored; dorsal pelage is dense, lax, and very long; and ventral pelage has large pectoral patches of single-colored hair (gular, axillary, and inguinal patches are rarely present). Chromosomal complement is 2n = 66, FN = 104.

|
||
Merida Rice Rats reproduce year-round, and females were pregnant, lactating, or in estrous for several months. Postpartum estrus was observed in captivity and the wild. Estrous cycle in captivity can last more than five days because some phases were extended by more than two days. No relationship was found between frequency of reproductive females in each reproductive state and monthly average of rainfall or variation in food availability (e.g. arthropod abundance and oak fruiting).
