| Tail length (mm) | 88 | 85 |
| Weight (g) | 19.5 | 17 |
Conservation
Data on this species endemic to the Philippines is, as of now, known from only one location.[3] This particularity, alongside a lack of knowledge on the repartition and abundance of the species, brought the IUCN to assess the Amuyao tree-mouse as "Data Deficient".[2]
