Petter and colleagues in 1977 noted geographic variation in morphology (especially ear size) in the range of this species, until recently considered to extend throughout the island’s eastern forests from Tolagnaro (= Fort-Dauphin) in the south perhaps as far as the Tsaratanana Massif and just south of the Makira region in the north, and C. P. Groves, in his 2001 book Primate Taxonomy, suggested that northern specimens were darker and shorter-tailed than those from the south. Part of the variation can be accounted for by the identification of new species from within what was thought to be the range of

is probably the smallest of the eastern rainforest mouse lemurs, and it does not show significant differences in body weight between sexes. It is a slightly built species. Head and forelimbs are reddish-brown, blending into a grayish-brown dorsum and tail. The underside is grayish-white. A black midline stripe runs the length of the back. A conspicuous white rostral patch does not extend past the level of the eyes. Ears are naked and short, being half-hidden in the fur of the head. The tail is relatively long.

Mating takes place in September and October, during which time the male’s testes increase significantly in size. Usually one to three young are born per year, in November or December following a two-month gestation. Captive female Rufous Mouse Lemurs may breed twice annually. Offspring have a gray back and a cream-colored belly, contrasting sharply with the reddish-brown of their mother. Play occurs between the mother and herjuveniles, during which the young will chase their mother and occasionallyjump on hertail or hands. Independence is attained by two months of age.

is nocturnal and arboreal. Individuals sleep in tree holes and leaf nests during the day, and they have even been observed using old bird nests. During the austral winter from May through September, most females and some males enter torpor and lose 5-35 g in weight in the process. Males become active again in August, but females remain torpid for one or two more months.
