The North-eastern Xanthurus Rat is large, with harsh long pelage, long black guard hairs, and black spines, extending onto base of tail. Dorsum is yellow grayish brown, washed with yellow and black, being somewhat lighter on sides. Venteris lighter than dorsum but generally yellow grayish brown. Feet are dark brown and haired dorsally. Tail is ¢.125% of head—body length and black for basal one-third and yellow for the rest. Skull has small teeth, large bulla, and large foramina.
