The Paraguaná Spiny Pocket Mouse is a small spiny rodent known from the Paraguaná Peninsula of Venezuela. Its coarse, pale coat contrasts with its white underside.
The coarse dorsal fur is pale brown with ochraceous hairs, while the underside is white. The tail is bicolored.
Specimens came from cloud forest and moist stunted vegetation above 550 m on Cerro Santa Ana. At another site, they were collected among terrestrial bromeliads in a dry seasonal streambed.
