), from which it is distinguished by its longer, roughertail with larger scales and its smaller size. Pelage is short and woolly to the touch, but looks wiry. Dorsal pelage is dark grizzled ash gray, and ventral pelage is white. Feet are broad and naked. Ears are short and silvery pink; vibrissae are long, and black or white. Tail is relatively long (90-105% of head-body length) and blackish brown. Skull is broad with a broad and deep rostrum, in contrast to the Emperor Giant Rat. There are two pairs of mammae, both inguinal.

, and it was able to survive perhaps because ofits arboreal habits, while the Emperor Giant Rat may have become extinct, or at least highly diminished, because of its probable terrestrial habits. Further research is needed in order fully to understand this species’ natural history and evolution, and any threats facing it.
