Ears are short, rounded, and dark brown in coloration; its inner surface is covered by short brown hairs with yellowish tips. Eyes are large and are surrounded by a conspicuous ring of dark brown hairs. Mystacial vibrissae are abundant and moderately long, reaching or slightly surpassing the base of the ear. Interamal and submental vibrissae are short and white. Fore and hindfoot are dorsally covered by short white hairs. Ungueal tuft are whitish and slightly larger than claws. The tail is longer than head and body and sharply bicolored, dark grey dorsally and whitish in the belly.

) is relatively robust, with a short and broad rostrum, well expanded zygomatic arches and braincase inflated and broad. Nasals are slightly expanded in its distal third. The interorbital constriction is narrow and hourglass shaped, with slightly defined supraorbital ridges. Temporal and mastoid crests are scarcely developed. The zygomatic notches are wide and deep. The dorsal profile of the skull is nearly convex. Zygomatic plate is broad, with its anterior margin nearly straight and the upper root slightly slanted. Long and delicate hamular process separates a well developed postglenoid foramen from a small subsquamosal fenestra. Incisive foramina are relatively long, posteriorly extended to the anterior border of M1. Mesopterygoid fossa is broad, with straight and slightly divergent lateral borders; its anterior margin is well behind the posterior plane defined by the M3. Posterolateral palatal pits are rounded and large, located nearly the anterior border of the mesopterygoid fossa. Parapterygoid fossae are wide and relatively deep, with convex external borders. Auditory bullae are inflated and with relatively broad and long eustachian tubes. The associate foramina of the otic capsules and cephalic arterial patterns do not differ from the typical condition seen in other
