Description
Its skull has a rostral projection; the projection is on the top of the skull, with its leading edge aligned over the fourth premolar. Its head and body is 65 mm (2.6 in) long. Its tail is 22 mm (0.87 in); its ears are 24 mm (0.94 in). It has a very narrow connecting process between the sella and the posterior lancet.
In human culture
It was described as a new species in 1909 by Oldfield Thomas and Robert Charles Wroughton. They chose the species name "canuti" to honor Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. "Canute" is an anglicization of the Danish name "Knud." Thomas and Wroughton chose to honor Andersen when naming the species "in recognition of the exhaustive work he has done on this complicated and difficult group."
