One of the smallest arboreal mice in the region, found in Bornean lowland forest as well as Palawan in the Philippines, with a delicate build adapted to climbing fine vegetation.
Presumed nocturnal and arboreal like its close relative, the Margaretta's ranee mouse, though direct field observations of either species remain scarce.
