The tail is conspicuously longer than head and body length (about 114 %) and faintly bicolor. In the manus, digit I is small compared with the other digits, and digit V is smaller than digit II. In the pes, digit I is smaller than digit V (dV), and this last is smaller than digit II. Scales on the hindfoot are small and a narrow hypothenar pad is present on the plantar surface.

The tips of the lateral pelage are “Cinnamon” (color 39), and the tips of the ventral pelage are whitish. No sharp delimitation is observed between the dorsal, lateral, or ventral pelage. A white pectoral patch is always present, in which hairs are completely white. The metatarsals are covered with short and silver hairs, and the hairs are short and scattered on the lateral margin. The genal vibrissae extend backward beyond the pinnae. Two or three short carpal vibrissae reach the base of dV.

The braincase is slightly inflated. The rostrum is slightly narrow. The nasal bones have an anterior border rounded and a posterior margin slightly rounded. The nasal bones are short, not extending to the level of the lacrimal bones. The lacrimal bones are small and slightly square. The interorbital region is narrow and hourglass-shaped, without interorbital ridges. The zygomatic arches are convergent and narrow. The zygomatic notches are deep. The zygomatic plates are placed low and have a rounded anterior border. The incisive foramina are short, not reaching the anterior border of the M1, narrower than the breadth of the palate, and have a parenthesis-shape. The premaxillary portion of the incisive foramina septum is broad. The carotid circulation pattern is

). The palate is long. The posterior margin of the hard palate (the anterior limit of the mesopterygoid fossa) is smoothly squared or with a small median postpalatal process present (64.44 %, 35.56 %, respectively). The posterolateral palatal pits are small, simple, and sit on a shallow fossa. The auditory bullae are slightly swollen. The Eustachian tubes are medium size and slightly broad. The ventral margin of the external auditory meatus has a smooth edge without a cleavage. The alisphenoid struts are usually absent (82.35 %). The tegmen tympani is reduced and does not overlap the squamosal bone. The hamular processes of pterygoid bone are broad and short.

The M1 presents a procingulum asymmetrically divided into anterolingual and anterolabial conules by a deep anteromedian flexus; the anterolabial conule is larger than the anterolingual conule; the anteroloph and mesoloph are well developed, anteroloph is narrow and long; the paraflexus, metaflexus, protoflexus, and hypoflexus are deep; the mesoflexus is slightly deep. The M2 presents well developed anteroloph and mesoloph; the posteroloph is little developed; the paraflexus and metaflexus are very deep, but the mesoflexus and hypoflexus are not very deep. The M3 presents well developed anteroloph and mesoloph; the paraflexus, mesoflexus, metaflexus, and hypoflexus are conspicuous. The first (m1) and second (m2) lower molars have protoconid, paraconid, hypoconid, metaconid, and entoconid well-defined; the mesolophid is present, well developed, and projected lingually; the hypoflexid is deep, and the posterolophid is well developed. The m1 exhibits an anteromedian flexid that asymmetrically divides the procingulum into anterolingual and anterolabial conulids; the anterolophid and protolophid are present; the anteroflexid, metaflexid, and protoflexid are deep; the posteroflexid of m2 is deep. In the m3, the metaconid, protoconid, and hypoconid are well defined, and the entoconid is very small; the anterolabial cingulum is developed and narrow, and the protoflexid is deep.
