The male described in the original account was a small gerbil with a sandy back and white underside. The species has been reported captured in sesame fields in Kordofan, Sudan.
Thomas described the male holotype as small, with short feet. Its back was soft sandy buff, lightly lined by dark hair tips. White patches lay on the cheeks above and behind each eye and behind each ear; the underside, forelimbs, inner hind limbs, and feet were white. The soles were thickly haired. The tail was short for its group, pale sandy above and darkening toward its pencilled tip, with a white underside. The male type measured 87 mm from head to body, with a 100-mm tail, a 24-mm hind foot, and an 11-mm ear.
