are small to medium-sized arboreal mice with short, broad head, soft dense fur; eyes relatively large, more forward-facing than typical for Murinae; long, coarsely scaled tail with terminal, upwardfacing prehensile pad; and molars with complex crown patterns, retaining many primitive murine features. The Broad-headed Tree Mouse, one of the smaller members of genus, has fur on upperparts soft and woolly, hairs on back measuring 11-13 mm, general color dull fawn grizzled with silvery, the latter produced by pale guard hairs projecting 2—4 mm, bases of body hairs dark gray; fur on flanks and outer surfaces of limbs is yellowish brown; fur of underparts to throat and inside of limbs white or very pale buff to bases, sharply contrasting with flanks; head is strikingly patterned, lips white, cheek white in front and cinnamon behind, vibrissal pads gray, black mask around each eye and extending forward onto sides of snout; vibrissae dark and very long, extending back past shoulders; ears relatively short, rounded and dark, thinly furred. Feet are unpigmented, hairs white or pale buff, claws short, pale, and with strongly curved tips, plantar pads broad; forefeet with claws on four digits, flat nail on inner digit; hindfeet short and broad, well suited to climbing, claws present on all digits. Tail is very long (134-145% of head-body length), uniformly brown,scales relatively small (12-15 rows/cm), hexagonalto diamond-shaped, unkeeled, strongly overlapping; each scale with three hairs equal in length to 2-2-5 scales, overall appearance moderately hairy; tail tip with prehensile pad 30-35 mm long on uppersurface.

|

Broad-headed Tree Mice occupy nests in tree hollows, and information on breeding comes from field observation on such groups. In the Agaun area of Milne Bay Province, in August, individuals were encountered alone and in groups. Groups comprised 4-7 individuals, in all cases including at least one adult of each sex and some young. One group contained two adult males, while another included two adult females. In two of four groups, the young varied too much in body size to represent young ofa single litter, but it is not known whether they were offspring from consecutive litters from a single female or evidence of nestsharing by more than one female.

|

Although Broad-headed Tree Mice can be locally common, they are rarely trapped on the ground. Most specimens have been taken from nests situated in natural or modified tree hollows, and it is possible that activity is more or less confined to canopy.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The lower part of the elevational range of this species corresponds with a zone of extensive habitat modification on the Southeast Papuan Peninsula, a result of long-term subsistence agriculture. Although significant patches of lower montane rainforest are still present through this area, some are potentially vulnerable to forestry activities.
