The abdomen has a narrow, off-white central zone made up of pale cream hairs with short grey bases. This zone expands anteriorly to cover the pectoral region, and posteriorly, to surround the scrotum. The boundary between flank and ventral colouration is diffuse. The fore- and hind-limbs are grey externally but with a narrow zone of contrasting off-white fur extending along the inner surface. The scrotum is pigmented and thinly clothed in off-white fur.

In this regard, it is interesting to note Leake’s (1962: 51) statement that this species was often seen in the Kellerberrin district in the wheatbelt of Western Australia but, 'like other native animals, it disappeared in the nineties of the last [19th] century'.</paragraph>
