Head-body mean 128 mm (males) and 120 mm (females); tail mean 140 mm (males) and 136 mm (females), ear mean 16 mm, hindfoot mean 33 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. Male Southern Spiny Pocket Mice are somewhat larger than females. It is a scansorial rodent, medium-sized for the genus, with coarse adult pelage having abundant stiff, flattened spine-like hairs on dorsal and lateral surfaces of body in lowland regions but typically soft in mountains. Upper parts are dark gray to blackish. There is no buffy lateral line, and belly is white. Ears are small relative to body size. Posterior parts of soles of hindfeet are naked. Tail is moderately haired and strongly bicolored (darker on upper part) in most populations but uniformly dark in some, particularly on the Pacific coast of Colombia. Cheekteeth have high crowns, and lower premolar has 3—4 lophids. Chromosomal complement has not been described. Dark-gray or blackish pelage of the Southern Spiny Pocket Mouse distinguishes it from the Trinidad Spiny Pocket Mouse (

Intact or only moderately disturbed tropical forests from sea level to elevations of ¢.2500 m. The Southern Spiny Pocket Mouse inhabits extensive lowland habitat in wet areas of the Choco of western Colombia, much of the Colombian Andes, and adjacent slopes of the Andes in north-western Ecuador. In eastern Panama, it inhabits forest, dry ridge tops, dry woods, dense bamboo-heliconia (
