Medium-sized vole, with brownish-gray dorsal coloration and ventral with yellowish tones. It has small eyes, ears protrude slightly from the fur, and has a relatively short tail. It feeds mainly on vegetables, although it can also eat invertebrates. It is a species of Mediterranean requirements associated exclusively with perennial grasslands that maintain soil moisture. It presents, therefore, very defined habitat requirements. Very fragmented distribution. It presents day and night activity, it can reproduce all year round if the conditions are favorable. Very rare species, it does not exceed 1% of the catches of the SEMICE project. Threatened species (category VU).
