Head-body mean 72 mm, tail mean 91 mm, ear mean 9 mm, hindfoot mean 22 mm; weight mean 14 g. Male Dalquests Pocket Mice are slightly larger than females. Thisis a smooth-haired pocket mouse and small-sized for the genus, with tail longer than head-body length and small ears. Relatively soft pelage has only a few spines on rump, and these are rather inconspicuous, small, and not as stiff compared with those of coarse-haired species. Pelage is pale gray or pale buff, mixed with light and dark hairs; there is no lateral stripe; and under parts are white. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 42 and FN = 64. Dalquests Pocket Mouse is generally parapatric with the closely related Little Desert Pocket Mouse (

from Santa Margarita Island on the Pacific coast to La Paz and south at elevations below 600 m. Dalquests Pocket Mouse is restricted to moist, cool areas of coastal plains in desert scrubland that is subject to coastal fog and contains epiphytes, primarily the lichen-like fungi Roccella and ball moss (

). Its habitat along the Pacific coast contains many endemic plant species. Dalquests Pocket Mouse occurs in three general and discontinuous areas on Santa Margarita Island, along the Pacific coast, and around La Paz. The low-elevation, narrow isthmus between the Pacific coast and La Paz allows cool, moist breezes from the Pacific Ocean during at least part of the year.

Diet of Dalquests Pocket Mouse consists largely of seeds of shrubs, annuals, and grasses, but it also includes smaller amounts of green vegetation and insects. Food items are collected in external, fur-lined cheek pouches and transported back to burrows where they are stored in burrow caches. It does not need to drink water, subsisting entirely on water from its food and water produced as a byproduct of metabolism.
