Pending further revisions of this taxon we keep the species as valid, but taxonomy of M. meridianusstill requires attention and cryptic species may be described in future. Monotypic.

Head-body 90-144 mm, tail 85-135 mm, ear 10-19 mm, hindfoot 25-34 mm; weight 24-60 g. The Midday Jird is a medium-sized jird with tail length equal to head-body length and with densely hairy soles of feet. Dorsal pelage is light yellow gray to brown, and venter white with some brown stripes on chest. Tail ends with small pencil of dark hairs. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 50, FN = 78.
