Crown of head is dark, often black, grading to pale gray on face and throat but with no hint of striping; snout is notably elongated, ears are short and round, and tail short, black, and naked. This species is variable in size and color, with small individuals similar in appearance to female Clara’s

In New Guinea occurs in grassland, scrub, lowland rainforest, and foothill forest at altitudes from sea level to 1200 m, occasionally to 2100 m; found also in generally drier and more disturbed habitats than other species in genus. It occupies similar habitats in Australia, but occurs there also in coastal closed heath and extends into drier country along gallery forest, from sea level to 800 m. May rest in logs or under leaflitter in sheltered sites in a similar manner to that of other peramelids, but present species also shows considerable propensity to construct burrows. In Australia, burrow complexes may be 50-80 cm deep, cover up to 3 m? in area, and have two or more entrances.

In the most detailed study of the diet of this echymipera, at Iron Range, on Cape York Peninsula,fruits and seeds comprised ¢.27% of diet, followed by invertebrates (26%), fungi (19%), and the remains ofleafy plants (18%); other foods included plant roots and soil, grass, and small vertebrates. Pronounced seasonal variation in the amount of each food type consumed probably reflected changes in food availability. More limited information for New Guinea suggests that diet there is similar. Food obtained from forest floor or by excavation; as with many other peramelids, this species’ presence can often be detected by the finding of conical holes 20-30 cm deep that the animals have dug with their powerful forelimbs.

In Iron Range study, females carried pouch young between November and May, 80-100% of females carrying young during peak of wet season from January to March. Litter size was 1-4 (average 2-8), larger females carrying more young and producing up to two litters per season. Females produced on average 4-9 young per year. Females have eight nipples. Reproductive effort appears similar, or perhaps spread over longer period, in New Guinea, where females recorded as carrying young in pouch in May, October, March, and August. Growth of young appears to be slower than in other peramelids that have been well studied; young leave pouch at c.65 days, are weaned at 70 days, and become sexually mature at 4-5 months.

There is some evidence that animals make repeated use of the same paths through vegetation and that range areas are of the order of 1-2 ha. Captive individuals are intensely intolerant of each other, and males, in particular, often bear scars and wounds inflicted in fights. Despite such mutual intolerance, local population density can be high if resources are available. At Iron Range, 48 resident animals were present on a grid of 2-25 ha, equating ostensibly to a density of 21 ind/ha; true density would have been less than this as the grid probably sampled an area greater than 2-25 ha, but would still have exceeded 10 ind/ha.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Has a decreasing population trend. In New Guinea, nominate subspecies is considered to be uncommon in most parts of its range, although it can achieve high abundance locally if conditionsare suitable. It has a large geographical range, occurs in a number of protected areas, and may be tolerant of at least some habitat disturbance. It is, nonetheless, a favored game species and is susceptible to overhunting. There is also anecdotal evidence that it is susceptible to the gross habitat disturbance that accompanies mining and the forest-firing and clearing that precedes production of commercial crops such as oil palm (

It faces no obvious or immediate threats, has not declined in its distributional range, and remains locally abundantin suitable habitat.
