Head-body 120-180 mm, tail 55-80 mm, hindfoot 23-30 mm; weight 75-130 g. Male Sierra Madre Occidental Pocket Gophers are slightly larger than females. This mediumsized pocket gopher has a fusiform body shape typical of all pocket gophers, and it possesses fur-lined cheek pouches that open external to the mouth. Its pelage is moderately dense and medium to dark brown dorsally, occasionally with a faint, slightly darker dorsal stripe. Ventral pelage is golden or yellowish brown. Female Sierra Madre Occidental Pocket Gophers have three pairs of mammae, one pectoral and two inguinal. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 76 and FN = 118-152.

|
||
There is no specific information available for this species, but all pocket gophers that have been studied eat predominately underground roots and tubers and a limited amount of surface vegetation. As in all other pocket gophers, the burrow system is a series of shallow feeding tunnels radiating spoke-like from a deeper, central network that contains one or more nest chambers and several smaller chambers for storage of food or fecal pellets.

is solitary and aggressively territorial. Because it rarely leaves its burrow system,its home range is defined by size and extent of its burrow system. Field observations suggest that home range size is typical of that measured in other medium-sized pocket gophers, covering 30-80 m® of surface area.
