Head-body 344-415 mm, tail 335-435 mm, ear 25-3-27-5 mm, hindfoot 64-4-72 mm; weight 1.4-2 kg. De Vis’s Woolly Rat is an extremely large species of giant rat.

Ears are flesh-colored; vibrissae are long. Tail is long (¢.95-105% of head-body length), black basally and unpigmented white for distal half. Skull has a relatively broader rostrum and more inflated frontal region. Incisors have orange enamel, rather than white as in the Alpine Woolly Rat (
