This five-toed jerboa was described from steppe in northeastern Iran. It has a brown back, a white underside, white hairs inside its ears, bare soles, and a brush of hair on its tail.
The 2008 description gives a brown back and white underside. The inner ear is dark with white hairs; the outer surface is dark with paler margins and black hairs. The soles and their margins are bare, and the subterminal part of the tail brush is light brown. Eight adults from Cheshme Gilas (four males and four females) averaged 109.38 ± 7.87 mm in head-and-body length and 177.50 ± 6.60 mm in tail length.
The 2008 original description reported this jerboa from steppe in northeastern Iran. The eight adults examined, four males and four females, were collected at Cheshme Gilas northwest of Mashhad. The adult male holotype was collected there in 2006.
