The toes are tufted beneath with bristly hairs. The incisor teeth are narrow and white. There is a small premolar on each side of the upper jaw.
Females have eight mammae.
The habits and biology of Euchoreutes are not known, and there are only a few specimens in study collections. They have been taken in sandy valleys covered with low bushes of Haloxylon ammodendron and sometimes in the huts of nomads. The Johns Hopkins University Press. All rights reserved.
